An enzyme histochemical study of cerebral arteriosclerosis

Cerebral arteriosclerosis.

A histochemical study of various forms of cerebral lipidoses.

A histochemical study was made of 13 cases of lipidoses of the central nervous system. Niemann-Pick's disease can be differentiated from other cerebral lipidoses by the finding that all affected cells store histochemically stainable phospholipids. Evidence has been adduced indicating that the material stored in infantile amaurotic idiocy is a complex containing ganglioside, cholesterol, and pos...

An enzyme histochemical study of human sinus node, coronary sinus, and mitral valve muscle.

An enzyme histochemical study of the sinoatrial node, the coronary sinus, and the atrial muscle extending into the anterior mitral valve was performed on human hearts. Investigation of the activity and localization of the structurally bound enzymes was performed by conventional histochemical techniques. Determination of the activity of nonstructurally or weakly structurally bound enzymes was pe...

Fiber Composition of the Grasscutter (Thryonomys swinderianus, Temminck 1827) Thigh Muscle: An Enzyme-histochemical Study

The aim of this study was to describe de fiber composition in the thigh muscles of grass cutter (Thryonomys swinderianus, Temminck 1827). Ten 4 to 6-month-old (3 to 4 kg) male grasscutter were used in this study. Eleven skeletal muscles of the thigh [M. biceps femoris (BF), M. rectus femoris (RF), M. vastus lateralis (VL), M. vastus medialis (VM), M. tensor fasciae latae (TFL), M. semitendinosu...

Carotid and cerebral arteriosclerosis in the rat.

• The importance of cerebral vascular disease is well known as is its increasing frequency in all age groups. Progress in the clinical management of cerebrovascular disease has stemmed from increasing appreciation of the significance of deranged function in the arteries of the head and neck.' 3 There is a growing realization that the cerebral arteries may have a different physiological and morp...
