Abstract
The concentrations of metallothionein-I in the plasma and liver of neonatal rats were measured by radioimmunoassay. Plasma concentrations of the protein in male and female 4-day-old rats were 350 and 740 ng/ml respectively, and declined rapidly to only 3.5 ng/ml at 32 days of age. Concentrations in liver were also high in the newborn rats (200 micrograms/g), and declined from 12 days of age onwards.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
