title: Sex-influenced CPIB-induction of peroxisomes in rat liver and kidney tissues.
abstract: Male and female rats were used for CPIB-administered inducement of peroxisomes in liver and kidney tissues. Male rats respond to CPIB with higher levels of peroxisomal proliferation than females. Superoxide dismutase activity does not appear to be influenced by CPIB in any of the tissues studied. Aminotriazole depressed catalase activity in both males and females.
