1. 1. Glutathione S-transferase activity towards 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene was measured in 27 different tissues of rat, and in 21 different tissues of humans. 2. 2. In rat the highest activity was present in liver, while in humans the highest activities were found in kidney and liver. 3. 3. Most tissues of the same type from rat and human origin had comparable activities, excepted rat liver and testes which were 7- and 3-fold higher respectively, and rat muscle which was 10-fold lower than similar activities in human tissues. © 1981.
