Effect of ethionine on gamma-cystathionase, homoserine dehydratase and cysteine desulfhydrase activities.
The administration of ethionine results in a rapid and marked increase in rat liver cysteine desulfhydrase activity. However, this antimetabolite of methionine does not affect the hepatic levels of homoserine dehydratase and gamma-cystathionase.
