Lysosomal and Some Other Hydrolytic Enzyme Activities in The Whole Liver and Isolated Hepatocyte Suspension.

Enzyme activities were studied with the liver tissue and isolated hepatocyte homogenates. The activities of alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, adenosine triphosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, and various lysosomal enzymes were different between the hepatocytes and non-hepatocyte components in rat liver. The significance of the isolation of hepatocytes from the liver tissue is discussed.departmental bulletin pape

Changes in Lysosomal Enzyme Activities in Rat Liver Following Partial Hepatectomy.

The changes in lysosomal enzyme activities in rat liver after partial hepatectomy were studied with the whole liver and isolated hepatocyte suspension. The activity patterns of enzymes were different between the stages before and after mitosis, and also between the two cell types of hepatocytes and non-hepatocytes in the liver. Increase of enzyme activities, especially of acid ribonuclease, in the premitotic stage suggests that the lysosomes may participate in the cell division during liver regeneration
