Research Abstract |
In the present study, we observed the developmental changes of drag metabolic enzyme, xanthine oxidase (XO) and aldehyde oxidase (AO) activity in postnatal rat liver. On the other hands, there were no developmental changes of rat placenta XO and AO activity during gestational period. Account for the change of placenta weight, their activity in whole body may change during gestational period. Threfore, we should make dose adjustment based on the developmental changes of drag metabolic enzyme activity.
