Blubber dehydrogenase reaction. Representative cortisone chromatograms for endogenous (non-denatured) (a) and denatured microsomes (b) where blue and red chromatograms are the primary and secondary transitions of cortisone, and intensity (y axes) units are counts per second (CPS); mean measured cortisone mass relative to the dose of cortisol in endogenous and denatured blubber microsomes (c). Horizontal red line indicates threshold for positive result and error bars are standard deviations
