Aldrin epoxidase and 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity in livers from lambs of three different breeds of Norwegian sheep

The concentration of aldrin epoxidase was significantly greater in the livers of Norwegian Pelt lambs than in those of Rygja lambs but did not differ significantly between either of these two breeds and Spael lambs. Conversely, although there was no detectable EROD activity in the livers of many of the lambs in all three breeds, the median activity was greater in the livers of Rygja lambs than was the case for Spael lambs.Abbreviations EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid - EROD 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase - GST glutathioneS-transferase
