Mucolytic Enzyme Systems

Mucolytic enzyme systems. X. Serum hyaluronidase inhibitor in liver disease.

The hyaluronidase inhibiting property of blood serum has been found to be increased in such diverse clinical states as infectious diseases of bacterial and viral origin (1-4), neoplastic disease (5, 6), and the postpartum state in women (7) as well as in several of the so-called "collagen diseases" of unknown etiology, notably rheumatic fever (8, 9), disseminated lupus erythematosis (2) and der...

Mucolytic enzyme systems. XI. Hyaluronidase inhibitor and serum mucoproteins in patients with lipoid nephrosis and acute glomerulonephritis.

Mucolytic enzyme systems; inhibition of hyaluronidase by human blood serum during the normal menstrual cycle and pregnancy.

Summary of the National Mucolytic Study.

Mucolytic Enzyme Systems Vii. Effects of Tissue Extracts and Body Fluids, Certain Steroids, and Hemoglobin Derivatives on Hyaluronidase Activity * by Lee W. Wattenberg

The rale of hyaluronidase as a spreading factor or invasive agent in tissues has led to studies of its occurrence in virulent bacteria, snake venoms, bee sting extracts, and spermatozoa (1, 2). Its presence in malignant cells has not been conclusively established. The earlier work of DuranReynals and Stewart (3), and the more recent studies of McCutcheon and Coman (4), on malignant tissues, fav...
