[Effect of starvation and phenobarbital on the activity of liver uroporphyrinogen synthetase].

Liver uroporphyrinogen synthetase activity was measured in 45 mice, divided in three groups. The mice of the 1st group served as controls, those of the 2nd starved for 24 hours, while those of the 3rd were injected intraperitoneally with phenobarbital. The enzymic activity was found significantly (p less than 0.
