The specific activities of individual enzymes associated with glycolysis in rabbit gingiva were systematically evaluated, and the enzyme patterns at pH 7.4 were established on the glycolytic and gluconeogenic pathways. As a result, it was suggested that there was no capability for gluconeogenesis. The effects of alkaline pH values on the enzyme patterns appeared to lead to the overall stimulation of glycolysis.
