title: [The malate enzyme--organ activity and age dependence].
abstract: The malic enzyme activities of selected organs of rats have been investigated in dependence on age. The liver of female adult animals shows maximum enzyme level, while the malic enzyme activity of heart, kidney, brain, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue and lung is decreased in the given order. Excepting brain, for all tissues under study an age-dependent reduction of malic enzyme is observed.
