Abstract excerpt

N-acetyltransferase (NAT) activity was determined in 100 frog (Rana tigrina) livers using 2-aminofluorene and p-aminobenzoic acid as substrates. Overall, the liver NAT activity of the 50 females was higher than the liver NAT activity of the 50 males. The activities (mean +/- SD) of NAT from the b...
