Developmental patterns of peroxisomal enzymes in amphibian liver during spontaneous and triiodothyronine-induced metamorphosis.
???displayArticle.abstract???
1. Liver catalase, D-amino acid oxidase, urate oxidase of Alytes obstetricans and Xenopus laevis (anuran amphibians) and fatty acyl-CoA oxidase of Alytes were present at all post-embryonic stages. 2. Catalase and D-amino acid oxidase activities increased during spontaneous metamorphosis of the two species. 3. During triiodothyronine-induced metamorphosis of Alytes larvae, catalase and D-amino acid oxidase activities increased after a latent period. 4. Our results suggest that expression of some hepatic peroxisomal enzymes is modulated by thyroid hormones.
