SUMMARY

d-Glucuronolactone dehydrogenase activity in mouse liver was determined after castration, the injection of hormones, and after both measures. Spaying of female mice increased enzyme activity to the slightly higher level found in intact males. Oestrone decreased activity in males, spayed females and in females injected with norethisterone. Norethisterone increased activity in intact females, but testosterone had no definite effect.
