Development of oxidative metabolism in the non-innervated optic lobe of the chick
Experientia
|June 15, 1979
Abstract:
Early removal of the optic cup of the chick embryo prevents innervation of the contralateral optic lobe. This reduces the rate of development od citrate synthetase. The posthatch increase of the level of this enzyme related to oxidative metabolism is not impaired by denervation of the chick optic lobe.
