Abstract:
:The activities of oxidative enzymes of hepatic mitochondria of Anabas testudineus increased following exogenous administration of hydrocortisone and corticosterone. The inhibitors of protein synthesis prevented the hormone-mediated increase of hepatic enzymes, suggesting that corticosteroids regulate the oxidative metabolism of this teleostean species through the protein synthetic machinery of liver.
