I did an experiment where I liquidised 100g of liver, muscle, kidney and heart and mixed each of them with 1 litre of distilled water. Then I added hydrogen peroxide and measured the amount of oxygen produced. I found that the most oxygen was produced from the liver mixture but large amount was produced from the kidney. I have been searching on the internet for hours to find out why there is so much catalase in the kidney but it only tells me about the liver. I have already read the question about catalase posted by Kumar Chandraskharan on Mon Sep 28 23:13:55 1998 but it doesn't answer my question about the amount of catalase in the kidney. I would really appreciate it so much if you would be able to answer my question because I really can't find the answer anywhere. Thankyou
