Proteinase activity in the pancreas of fish and amphibians

Proteinase activity in the pancreas of fish and amphibians

Enzyme activities expressed as the equivalent amount of bovine trypsin (casein or BAEE) or chymotrypsin (BTEE) under the same conditions. ^a measurements of enzyme activity in the pyloric cecal tissue may account for the lower values, ^b frogs were fed, ^c frogs fasted at 5 C, * group C: 0-20 µg RNase per gram of pancreatic tissue.
