:
Thyroxine and insulin , injected into suckling rats, did not induce significant modifications of the fucosyl-transferase activity, under the conditions used, whereas this enzyme activity was highly enhanced after administration of glucocorticoids ( cortisone and hydrocortisone )

:
Insulin treatment of young suckling rats induced a precocious increase in fucosyltransferase activity and in the biosynthesis of its substrate ( GDP-fucose ), but the sensitivity to insulin disappeared after weaning
