Abstract:
The activities of some enzymes were described in the developing human nasal cavity in relatively early stages. In cryostat sections of the 8-14-week-old fetuses processed by standard Lojda methods, activities of the following enzymes were found in the respiratory and olfactory regions: ALP, ACP, ATP, TPP, alpha-GPDH, G6PDH, SDH and ANE. The positive reaction for DPP IV failed to be proved in this localization, it was not detected even in the capillary bed of the nasal cavity.
