Sex-influenced CPIB-induction of peroxisomes in rat lens tissue.
Male and female rats were used for the CPIB-administered inducement of peroxisomes in lens tissue. CPIB treatment enhances superoxide dismutase activity in both male and female rat lens tissue. CPIB causes a significant increase in catalase activity in male and a relatively smaller increase in female rat lens tissue.
