| Popis: | The aldehyde-oxidizing capacity of placenta and foetal liver from the rat was studied using acetaldehyde as substrate. In the placenta the activity was approximately 8 % and in foetal liver 49 % of that found in the liver of adult animal. The placenta seems to prevent most of the acetaldehyde found in maternal blood during ethanol oxidation from entering the foetal circulation. |
