Abstract
RECENTLY, Andrews et al.1 obtained evidence from perfusion studies of the inability of the liver of the fœtal sheep to utilize fructose. However, in lambs a removal of fructose from the perfusate occurred in preparations made from the fifth neonatal day onwards. It was of interest to ascertain whether premature birth could influence the time of onset of hepatic fructose metabolism.
