Abstract
Arginase activity in liver, kidney, small intestine and stomach of pregnant and lactating rats as well as their plasma levels have been measured. Late pregnancy as well as weaning induced a parallel increase in enzyme activity that is not reflected in the circulating urea levels. The arginase activity changes have been related to known changes in feeding and nitrogen handling patterns as well as to hormonal variations.
