Carbonic anhydrase in developing hamster molars.
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity decreased slightly in hamster molars from one to four d after birth. It was inhibited by low concentrations of acetazolamide. Histochemically, the stratum intermedium and stellate reticulum showed an intense staining for CA, whereas ameloblasts increased and odontoblasts decreased their CA activity with age.
