[Lysosomal glycosidases, lactate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase in experimental inflammation]
Abstract:
Inflammation of rat hypodermic tissue was accompanied by an increase in activity of lysosomal glycosidases beta-D-galactosidase and beta-D-glucuronidase in the proliferating tissue and in some other preparations studied. Activation of lactate dehydrogenase/LDH/in exudate of inflamed tissues indicated apparently that the rate of redox reactions was elevated under conditions of the tissue proliferation. Decrease of creatine phosphokinase activity in blood plasma of experimental animals, which occurred simultaneously with the LDH activation, enabled to suggest the presence of compensatory mechanisms responsible for energy providing of the tissue proliferation.
