title: The development of mitochondrial oxidative enzymes in rat heart muscle.
abstract: Three different developmental patterns have been found in the heart muscle mitochondria: (a) Activity of inner membrane enzymes, succinate-cytochrome c reductase and rotenone-sensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase, was found to increase rapidly after birth till the 25th day; no further increase was found till the 60th day. Both brances of the respiratory chain, i.e. NADH-dependent and flavoprotein-linked were found to develop in parallel. (b) Activity of retoenone insensitive-NADH cytochrome c reductase, an outer membrane enzyme, did not show any change during developement. (c) Activity of monoamine oxidase, another outer membrane enzyme, was found to increase after the 10th day of postnatal life and the increase in activity continued till the 60th day.
