| Abstract: | Tyrosine transaminase activity in liver, kidney, intestine, stomach, skin, adipose tissue, striated muscle and brain in fed and 24-hour fasted rats, has been studied. Maximal activity has been found in liver, with only fractional activity in the other tissues. 24 hour fasting induced significant decrease in liver and adipose tissue activity, while no changes have been detected in the other tissues. The possible implications of these facts are discussed. |
