Determination and developmental changes in carbonic anhydrase III in swine liver.
1. CA-III was measured by enzyme-immunoassay in the livers of male and female swine aged from the fetus to 5 years old. 2. No sexual dimorphism in porcine liver could be detected at 6 months, but stag showed twice as much as swine of the same age. 3. The concentration of CA-III in the liver increased during development up to 6 months of age, followed by decline due to senescence.
