| Popis: | The enzyme rhodanese (thiosulfate/cyanide sulfurtransferase) is an ubiquitous enzyme and its activity is present in all living organisms from bacteria to man. Evidence has been accumulated to indicate that this enzyme plays a central role in cyanide detoxification. A comparison was made of rhodanese activity in different tissues of young male and adult male and female pig (Sus scrofa). The highest activity of rhodanese was in liver and kidney cortex of all animals. Among the remaining tissues examined, the kidney medulla and the stomach epithelium tended to have higher levels than other tissues, although this was not significant (P>0.05). The rhodanese activity of heart ventricle tissue of 6-month-old male animals was higher than 7-week-old male animals (P |
