The Influence of Temperature on the Content of Liver Glycogen and Muscle Glycogen in Sparrow

Abstract:

The sparrows for experimental materials were divided into 5 °C acclimation group, 30 °C acclimation group and control group. The content of liver glycogen and muscle glycogen were measured with sulfuric acid-anthrone colorimetric method after two weeks of acclimation. The results show that: When the temperature is 5 °C, the glycogen content was very significantly lower than the glycogen content of control group (p0.05); The change in glycogen content was extremely significant between the two temperature (p<0.01).
