title: Adenylate deaminase activity in the tissues of the rat during its breeding cycle.
abstract: The adenylate deaminase activity of muscle, liver, kidney, brain, intestine, stomach and adipose tissue have been measured during pregnancy, lactation and post-lactation of the rat. No significant changes have been found in muscle and kidney, with depressed values in the liver of pregnant rats--in agreement with the loss of metabolic rôle in nitrogen handling during this period--. Adipose tissue changes as well as those of skin actually followed anatomical changes in fat content of both tissues. Stomach and intestine patterns were significantly different, with a maximum for the bowel at mid-lactation.
