STUDIES ON THE HYPOPHYSIC REGULATION OF TRANSAMINASE ACTIVITES IN LIVER AND BRAIN FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF RELATION TO VITAMIN B_6 METABOLISM : (II) INFLUENCE OF THE SHAM OPERATION AND REDUCED DIET INTAKE ON GOT ACTIVITIES OF THE TISSUES

Abstract

No change of GOT activities was observed in liver and brain of sham-hypophysectomized rat after 30 days. In the case of normal rat, GOT activities of liver slightly increased through the same reduced diet intake as with the hypophysectomized rat. However, no influence of the reduced diet intake described above was observed on the enzyme activities in brain.
