Summary

5′-Nucleotidase activity, an enzyme marker of the plasma membranes, increases in female rat liver homogenates following ethionine administration, while homogenates from males show no changes. Treatment with CCl4, colchicine, cycloheximide, emetine, ethanol and 5-fluorotryptophan does not significantly modify the 5′-nucleotidase activity of liver homogenates of either female or male rats.
