Abstract
Somatomedin (sulphation factor) activity was measured in 26 species by a porcine cartilage bioassay. Although non-dialysable inhibitory factors were present in many species, sulphation factor activity was present in the sera of all the vertebrates studied but was absent from the invertebrates.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
