title: Small intestinal and hepatic amylase activity of different vertebrates and invertebrates.
abstract: Studies have been done on amylase activity of the small intestine and liver of toad, calotes, pigeon rat, guinea pig and pilaglobosa. It has been found that amylase activity was maximum in pigeon, rat, guinea pig and then in calotes and pilaglobosa and least activity was found in toad, and seem to be related to the phylogeny and the dietary habbit.
