In rabbit and sheep erythrocytes the concentrations of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and glucose 1,6-bisphosphate suffer important changes after birth, which differ in both species. The changes of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and glucose 1,6-bisphosphate correlate with the changes in the levels of the enzymatic activities involved in their synthesis. The change of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate levels in rabbit but not in sheep erythrocytes could be explained by the changes of the phosphofructokinase/pyruvate kinase and 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate synthase/2,3-bisphosphoglycerate phosphatase activity ratios.

D011817	Rabbits	A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D005635	Fructosediphosphates	Diphosphoric acid esters of fructose. The fructose-1,6- diphosphate isomer is most prevalent. It is an important intermediate in the glycolysis process.
D005958	Glucosephosphates
D006019	Glycolysis	A metabolic process that converts GLUCOSE into two molecules of PYRUVIC ACID through a series of enzymatic reactions. Energy generated by this process is conserved in two molecules of ATP. Glycolysis is the universal catabolic pathway for glucose, free glucose, or glucose derived from complex CARBOHYDRATES, such as GLYCOGEN and STARCH.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
