INTRACELLULAR PROTEOLYTIC ENZYMES OF LIVER

Intracellular Proteolytic Enzymes of Liver

In all living tissues, protein constituents are continually being broken down within the body cells and protein decomposition products are excreted. If any or all of the processes of degradation occurring during life are the work of enzymes, we should expect to be able to demonstrate the existence of these enzymes in the tissues after death. The occurrence of such proteolytic enzymes was first ...

Proteolytic enzymes.

Leipner, J. and R. Saller (2000). "Systemic enzyme therapy in oncology: effect and mode of action." Drugs 59(4): 769-80. Plant extracts with a high content of proteolytic enzymes have been used for a long time in traditional medicine. Besides proteolytic enzymes from plants, 'modern' enzyme therapy additionally includes pancreatic enzymes. The therapeutic use of proteolytic enzymes is partly ba...

Proteolytic enzymes of lung.

The lung usually is considered to be a passive tissue whose main function is to permit gaseous diffusion to and from the blood; however, the lung is also an organ of defense. Its phagocytes remove inhaled dust particles and bacteria. A considerable part of the lung parenchyma consists of mononuclear phagocytes and potential mononuclear phagocytes. Since these cells are not readily available in ...
