Phenylalanine hydroxylase showed a 40% decrease in specific activity in regenerating . Phenylalanine hydroxylase did not decrease in the regenerating liver tissue of old animals. Administration of cycloheximide 30 min before operation potentiated the effect. The decrease was found in the regenerating livers of animnals exposed to low pressure prior to partial hepatectomy.
