Methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) activity was evaluated in cerebral cortex and cerebellum in controls and in rats treated with thyroxine. In controls the enzyme showed a different pattern in cerebral cortex and cerebellum during neonatal and late suckling periods. Hyperthyroid rats showed a significant increase of the enzyme in cerebral cortex only at the 2nd day of the neonatal period; in cerebellum the developmental pattern of MAT in neonatal period was anticipated temporally by 2-4 days. During the late suckling period thyroxine treatment produced in cerebellum a significant decrease in MAT activity at the 15th day after birth. From these data, we propose that hyperthyroidism may cause precocious induction of MAT both in cerebral cortex and in cerebellum and that the increased availability of S-adenosyl-L-methionine during the neonatal period could be related to its utilization also in polyamine biosynthesis.
