Abstract
We determined the activities of urea cycle enzymes in the liver of C3H‐H‐2o‐jsv mice. The activities of all urea cycle enzymes decreased in the latter period of lactation. The activities of carbamylphosphate synthetase and ornithine transcarbamylase in some affected mice were undetectable. On the other hand, the activities of enzymes other than urea cycle enzymes were normal. We consider that the decrease in the urea cycle enzymes is caused by an abnormality in the mechanism of gene expression.Keywords
