Activities of glucose-6-phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and content of glycogen in liver as well as content of sugar in blood were studied after denervation of dog liver tissue. Activities of these enzymes were increased and content of glycogen in hepatocytes was decreased within 1-2 weeks after the denervation. Within a month the enzymatic activities and content of glycogen in liver tissue approached the control levels; these patterns were similar to control ones within the subsequent periods of examination (3-months--1 year). Content of sugar in blood was the same within all the periods of study (3 days--3 months).
