A Quantitative Mapping of Acid Phosphatase in the Brain of the Rhesus Monkey.

چکیده
THE distribution of acid phosphatase in the central nervous system as demonstrated by histochemical methods has been investigated by LANDOW, KABAT and NEWMAN (1942), WISLOCKI and DEMPSEY (1948), and by SHIMIZU (1950) in comparative studies that included mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats and chickens. Numerous papers deal with the cytological distribution of acid phosphatase in selected regions of the brain of various species, but little attention has been given to gradations of enzyme activity among those regions. The present paper reports a mapping of acid phosphatase activity in the brain of the rhesus monkey. A quantitative histochemical method was used, based upon spectrophotometric measurements of dye extracts from standard size tissue discs taken from brain sections that had been incubated with a substrate for acid phosphatase. Previous mappings of oxidative enzymes (FRIEDE, 1961), and particularly a mapping of lactate dehydrogenase in the brain of the rhesus monkey (FRIEDE and FLEMING, 1963), facilitate comparison of enzyme patterns.

Myocardial Infarction in a Rhesus Monkey
Myocardial necrosis can be result from a number of causes including nutritional deficiencies, chemical and plant toxins, ischemia and metabolic disorder. The outcome of myocardial necrosis varies depending on the extent of the damage (Donald 2001, Jubb 1993, Radostits 1994, Vanvaleet 1986). Myocardial infarction without demonstrable of atherosclerosis were reported in a rhesus macaque (Gonder 1...
متن کاملA quantitative mapping of alkaline phosphatase in the brain of the rhesus monkey.
ALKALINE phosphatase shows greater species variability than all other enzymes that have been studied histochemically in the brain. The pioneering studies by SHLMIZU (1950) demonstrated that activity of this enzyme in many species is concentrated mainly in the blood vessels, whereas in some species (e.g. in the rabbit and in several avian species) little or no activity occurs in the blood vessel...
متن کاملComparison of Two Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Measurement Methods Used For Anatomical Localization of the Iron-Incorporated Deep Brain Nuclei
Introduction Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a new contrast mechanism in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The images produced by the QSM enable researchers and clinicians to easily localize specific structures of the brain, such as deep brain nuclei. These nuclei are targets in many clinical applications and therefore their easy localization is a must. In this study, we aimed to i...

Objective(s): In the present study the effect of stress on monkeys that had learned to retrieve food from a five-chamber receptacle, as well as the relationship between their behavior and the serum cortisol and epinephrine levels and relative size of the amygdala was evaluated. Materials and Methods: Six male rhesus monkeys were individually given access to the food reward orderly. They could e...
متن کاملA Mapping of the Distribution of Lactic Dehydrogenase in the Brain of the Rhesus Monkey.
This article provides a quantitative mapping of the distribution of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in the nuclei and regions of the brain of the rhesus monkey. It represents one part of a program of systematic mappings of the distribution of various enzymes in the brain. Previous publications described the distribution of succinic dehydrogenase (SD) in guinea pig brain (Friede, '59 a, b; '...
