Abstract excerpt
The phenotypic variation of the mitochondrial malic enzyme (MEM) was examined in 121 brains and 46 heart tissue samples from the population of north-east England. There was no difference in gene frequency distribution between sexes and the two tissues. However, a significant variation has been observed in males compared with a Scottish study. The three common phenotypes of brain were partially purified on a DEAE...
