The development of the apparent kinetic parameters Km and Vmax was studied in perinatal Wistar rats for three functionally diverse, hepatic enzymes (p-nitroanisole O-demethylase, carboxylesterase and bromosulphophthalein–glutathione conjugating enzyme), the period studied being from 3 days prepartum to 35 days postpartum. The kinetic parameters underwent marked quantitative changes during development, which appeared to be independent of sex for the first 5 weeks postpartum.

The development of four functionally diverse, hepatic enzymes (p-nitroanisole O-demethylase, aniline hydroxylase, carboxylesterase, and glucuronyltransferase (with α-naphthol as the aglycone acceptor)) was studied in perinatal Hartley guinea pigs from 8 days prepartum to 28 days postpartum. A good correlation was observed between the activities measured in resuspended Ca2+-aggregated microsomes and the quantities of hepatic smooth endoplasmic reticulum visible by electron microscopic examination at the different stages of development. The study demonstrated that, postnatally, the guinea pig developed competent enzymatic systems as rapidly as did other laboratory species but that, prenatally, these same enzyme(s) systems were much further advanced than those in other species.
