Changes in enzymes of hepatic rough and smooth microsomes during postnatal development and ageing of rats.

Significant changes are observed in wet weight, microsomal protein content and enzymes of purified rough and smooth microsomes of liver during postnatal development and ageing of female Wistar rats. Protein content of total microsomes increases up to 15 days of age and remains steady during subsequent development, unlike that of rough and smooth microsomes which shows changes throughout the same period. Activities of cytochrome P-450, cytochrome b5 and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase increase during the period of maturation and decline during senescence. The decrease during senescence is at different rates in the two microsomal fractions. Microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase, but not adenosine triphosphatase, shows a similar increase during development and decrease during senescence.
