Liver ferrochelatase from normal and hexachlorobenzene porphyric rats. Studies on their properties
1. 1. The aim of the present work is to shed light on the way of action of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) on hepatic ferrochelatase the mitochondrial enzyme which catalyzes the last step of haem biosynthetic pathway. 2. 2. Some properties of this enzyme from normal and HCB porphyric rat liver were studied....
