In native cryostat tissue sections of adult female albino rat liver the activities of succinate dehydrogenase (E. C. 1.3.99.1), glucose-6-phosphatase (E. C. 3.1.3.9) and malic enzyme (E. C. 1.1.1.40) were histochemically demonstrated and planimetrically determined. The areas of the enzymes with a maximum activity in the periportal regions, namely SDH and G-6-Pase, were respectively 34% and 41% of the whole parenchyma. Malic enzyme showed a maximum activity in the perivenous region, which consisted of about 53% of the total parenchyma. The zonal distribution of enzyme activities is related only to the terminal vessels; in the vicinity of the preterminal vessels an irregular distribution pattern was found. The results further support the assumption of the bifunctionality of liver parenchyma.

The livers of 26 adult male and female trout were studied histochemically. G6Pase activity was always found to be heterotopically distributed with a constant maximum in the periportal area. In many cases the glycogen content and the activity of phosphorylase predominated in the periportal zone as well. Maximum activity of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase and malic enzyme, however, could be demonstrated preferentially in the perivenous area. Lactate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase and beta-glucuronidase were found equally in all liver cells. 3-Hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase was absent. Thus, the principles of metabolic zonation have been established in trout liver, the architecture of which differs essentially from that of mammals. The course of the terminal afferent and efferent vessels is the decisive factor for the heterotopic localization of functional units rather than the tubular or plate-forming arrangement of the hepatocytes.
