The activity of NsE was depressed in some regions of the brain, whereas in others an enhancement of NsE activity was found. TPPase activity appeared to increase following treatment with Vincristin. The observed differential reaction of NsE to Vincristin treatment could be indicative of an existence of multiple isoenzymes of carbocylesterases in the brain. The moderate intensity of changes in the enzymatic activity of the experimental brains evoked by the treatment of rats with Vincristin makes it feasible to assume that after cessation of the treatment the original enzymatic activity of the brain will be restored.</p>","PeriodicalId":75854,"journal":{"name":"Folia histochemica et cytochemica","volume":"21 3-4","pages":"187-94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"17207210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
