[Urea cycle enzyme activities in fetal rat hepatocytes in primary cultures].
The development of urea synthetizing enzymes, namely argininosuccinate synthetase, argininosuccinase and arginase was studied in fetal Rat liver cells in culture. The enzyme activities were measured in 18.5 days old isolated hepatocytes and could not develop without addition of dexamethasone in the culture medium.
