Abstract
The homeothermic seal possesses a heterothermic skin, while the skin of the sheep behaves as a truly homeothermic tissue. A new method for skin homogenization is described. The effect of temperature on the catalytic behaviour of seal and sheep skin LDH has been investigated by fluorimetric activity measurements, with results presented as Arrhenius plots. The seal skin enzyme had ten times higher activity at low temperatures as compared to the sheep skin. The mechanisms responsible for this different behaviour are discussed.Keywords
