Summary
The subject of these studies was the spinal cords of rats chronically poisoned with Carbon tetrachloride. The thiamine pyrophosphatase and acid phosphatase were investigated.
The authors observe a decrease of the activity of investigated enzymes. Basing on the obtained results, the authors suppose that CC14, administrated chronically disturbs the structure and function of the Golgi Zone and Lysosomes in the neurons of spinal cords of experimental animals.
