Comparative determination of liver acid phosphatase activity in decapitated and perfused rats

Histochemie Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Rat liver acid phosphatase activity in perfused and decapitated animals was analysed. The perfusion technique significantly increased the reproducibility of the results, whereas with the decapitation method a nonsystematic fault was introduced. Furthermore the results in the decapitated group have always to be interpreted as the sum of blood and tissue enzyme activity.
