Abstract

Retinol deficient rat liver, kidney and spleen showed a significant decrease in their enzyme activity (36% to 50%) compared to controls. The lectins could stimulate the enzyme activity in retinol deficient group by 57.6 to 92%, compared to controls (13.3% to 74%). Detergents increased the enzyme activity in retinol deficient tissue microsomes by 4.5%-80% in comparison to controls (10.3% to 119%). The results reveal alterations in membrane structure induced by retinol deficiency.
