Resumo

1. Rhodanese levels have been measured in liver, kidney and plasma from a number of species. 2. Liver activity was low in marmosets, pigeons and beagle bitches. 3. Levels were high in rats and somewhat lower in hamsters and guinea pigs while levels in two strains of rabbits were intermediate between guinea pigs and marmosets. 4. The relationship between hepatic and plasma rhodanese and cyanide sensitivity is discussed.
