[Phagocytic activity of isolated perfused liver of rats of different ages. Biochemical and structural studies following perfusion with Cu-ceruloplasmin].

The phagocytic activity of young and old isolated perfused rat livers was measured referred to a glycoprotein (Cu-coeruloplasmin). It was shown that the phagocytic activity of the old rat liver is significantly higher than that of the young rat liver. There was no age-dependent difference of the parameters of liver function GOT, GPT, Kt and the quotients beta-OH-Butyric acid/Acetoacetate and lactate/butyrate.
