HISTOCHEMICAL STUDY OF OXIDATIVE ENZYMES IN INVERTEBRATE MUSCLES

Histochemical Localization of Certain Oxidative Enzymes in the Rat Testis.

Histochemical Demonstration of Oxidative Enzymes in Human Salivary Glands.

Recently, the salivary glands function from biochemical, physiological and histochemical standpoints have been rather highlighted. Many investigators have come to try a histochemical detection of enzymes participating in various metabolic pathway in the salivary glands of experimental animals and humans. The previous study of this series dealt with the histochemical demonstration of various hyd...

Histochemical Studies on the Red, White and Intermediate Muscle Fibers of Some Skeletal Muscles Iii. Histochemical Demonstration of Oxidative Enzymes, Phosphorylase and Glycogen in Respiratory Muscle Fibers

1) Three different types of muscle fibers were clearly distinguished in the intercostal muscles and the diaphragm of human, cat and rat by histochemical demonstration of oxidative enzymes, phosphorylase and glycogen. 2) The intercostal muscles and diaphragm each presented dissimilar patterns of the muscle fibers. The diaphragm did not show any definite correlation between the diameter and the h...

A histochemical study on hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes in human sarcomas.

Histochemical evaluations of human sarcomas such as reticulum cell sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, lymphosarcoma and neurofibrosarcoma, were carried out with five hydrolytic enzymes and eight oxidative enzymes. The activities of acid phosphatase and beta-glucuronidase were slightly positive in the neoplastic cells observed. Beta-esterase activity was also positive but varied according to the kind of sar...

Varieties of elastic protein in invertebrate muscles.

Elastic proteins in the muscles of a nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans), three insects (Drosophila melanogaster, Anopheles gambiae, Bombyx mori) and a crustacean (Procambus clarkii) were compared. The sequences of thick filament proteins, twitchin in the worm and projectin in the insects, have repeating modules with fibronectin-like (Fn) and immunoglobulin-like (Ig) domains conserved between spe...
