Abstract
Summary
The activities of the acid hydrolases, cathepsin, β-glucuronidase, β-galactosidase, β-glucosaminidase, and acid phosphatase have been shown to increase significantly in granulomatous tissue of lathyritic rats. These enzymes are of the type normally found in lysosomal particles. An apparent correlation between the increase in acid hydrolase activity and the increase in soluble forms of collagen was demonstrated.
