Hydroperoxide metabolism of amphibia: tissue catalases of leopard frogs.
Catalase activities were measured and compared in liver, kidney, heart, and lung of American Leopard Frogs (Rana pipiens complex). The order of activities was found to be liver greater than kidney greater than heart approximately lung. The liver enzyme was found to be inhibited by aminotriazole, cyanide, and azide and appears to peroxidatively oxidize ethanol.
