Heme oxygenase activity is decreased by D-penicillamine in neonates

Experientia. 1983 Aug 15;39(8):888-9. doi: 10.1007/BF01990421.

Abstract

A 3-day D-penicillamine treatment of neonatal rats caused a significant decrease in heme oxygenase activity. This change was not observed in adult rats. The data indicate age-related differences in the effects of D-penicillamine.
