Changes in molecular species of pepsinogens in the development of the chick.
The potential peptic activity of the chick forestomach increases rapidly at the time of hatching. Together with this, the electrophoretic pattern of the pepsinogens shifts to the adult type. These changes take place even under the complete starvation of a newly hatch chick.
