Abstract
In rats, placental gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP) specific activity declined linearly during the last third of gestation. In contrast, the kidney enzyme activity progressively increased 15-fold. In the gut, peak activity was reached at mid-lactation (age 12 days). Hepatic GGTP levels were maximal during the foetal stage. Brain GGTP was negligible at birth and attained its highest specific activity at weaning.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
