Serum somatomedin (SM) activity measured as sulfation factor on chick embryo cartilage was determined in peripheral (PV), hepatic (HV) and renal (RV) veins or 36 mongrel dogs. Mean SM activity .+-. standard error of the mean was 0.53 .+-. 0.03 U, a negative correlation was found in the case of hepatic but not of renal blood. The kidney may be a production site of SM activity, whereas the liver is differently implicated in the overall regulation of SM activity.
