Extract

Several studies have been conducted concerning the action of amitrol (3–amino–1,2,4–triazole) upon certain enzyme systems. The activity of catalase from treated potato plants and barley leaves (7), leaves of potato, barley, and sunflower, and rats (2) has been reported. In all cases, amitrol depressed the activity of catalase.
