We have studied the evolution of the kinetic behavior of main NADPH-generating systems, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH), malic enzyme (ME) and isocitrate dehydogenase NADP-dependent (NADP-IDH) in liver of rainbow trout at different developmental stages. Our results show that during development, liver growth was due to an increase in the number of cells. Under these conditions, the main kinetic parameters and pattern of protein expression of these enzyme systems did not change in any of the developmental stages studied. However, when the values of these kinetic parameters were expressed in terms of cell units, we found progressive and significant decreases in all enzymes assayed as fish size increased, indicating that during development, the liver makes less total NADPH available to the cell.
