Ontogeny of intestinal phospholipase A2 in the rat.
The ontogenic development of intestinal phospholipase A2 in the rat was studied. Enzyme activity was first observed at 11 days after birth; it peaked at 24 days and fell to adult levels at 30 days. Weaning did not affect activity; fasting and the feeding of a fat-free diet lowered activity.
