Comparison of peroxide metabolism enzymes in organs of congenic mice.
1. A study was made of the SOD, P and C activities and the protein contents of the tissue homogenates in the five most important organs of six inbred mouse strains. 2. From the results of comparative examinations it emerges that the above PME's exhibit substantial differences in the various inbred mouse strains. 3. Accordingly, only pure inbred mice or rats raised under identical conditions can be used for PME comparisons. 4. The examinations also reveal that the PME levels of the inbred strains are genetically determined.
