Various enzyme activities in muscle and other organs of dystrophic mice.
To elucidate the metabolic abnormality of musclar dystrophy, 27 kinds of enzyme activity in various organs of control and dystrophic mice were examined. The organs examined included muscle, bone, heart, testis, uterus, spleen, thymus, submaxillary gland, stomach, pancreas, liver, kidney, brain, and lung. The activities of 14 different aminopeptidases, 5 endopeptidases, 4 glycosidases, phosphata...
متن کاملDevelopmental change in activity of N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase and a comparison of its multiple enzyme activities in the masseter muscle of normal and dystrophic mice.
N-acetyl-ƒÀ-glucosaminidase (NAG, EC 3.2. 1.30) is an enzyme which catalyzes glycoproteins, glycolipids and glycosaminoglycans. This enzyme is widely distributed in a variety of tissues and fluids of mammals. Until now, NAG has been purified from various organs such as human placenta1), bovine spleen2), horse kidney3) and mouse submandibular gland4), and its enzymatic properties have been repor...
متن کاملDysfunctional Muscle and Liver Glycogen Metabolism in mdx Dystrophic Mice
BACKGROUND Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe, genetic muscle wasting disorder characterised by progressive muscle weakness. DMD is caused by mutations in the dystrophin (dmd) gene resulting in very low levels or a complete absence of the dystrophin protein, a key structural element of muscle fibres which is responsible for the proper transmission of force. In the absence of dystroph...
متن کاملSulfur amino acid levels and related enzyme activities in various brain regions (and other tissues) in normal mice and rolling mice Nagoya.
The contents of the sulfur amino acids, and the activities of cystathionine beta-synthase and cystathionine gamma-lyase were measured in various regions of the brain and several other tissues in both normal mice and rolling mice Nagoya. The cystathionine content and cystathionine beta-synthase activity were found to be unevenly distributed in various regions of the brain in both normal mice and...
متن کاملDystrophic Muscle in Mice Chimeric for Expression of α5 Integrin
alpha5-deficient mice die early in embryogenesis (). To study the functions of alpha5 integrin later in mouse embryogenesis and during adult life we generated alpha5 -/-;+/+ chimeric mice. These animals contain alpha5-negative and positive cells randomly distributed. Analysis of the chimerism by glucose- 6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) assay revealed that alpha5 -/- cells contributed to all the tis...
