Author followed up the activity of the three enzymes involved in the catabolism of nucleic acids--acid deoxyribonulease (DNase II), alkaline ribonuclease (RNase I), and acid ribonuclease (RNase II)--in the denervated gastrocnemius and soleus muscles of rats for 28 postoperative days. The activity of both acid nucleases increased in both types of denervated muscles, compared with the respective controls. Up to the 14th postoperative day, the activity excess of both acid nucleases was more significant in the m. gastrocnemius than in the m. soleus. The RNase I ran below the control activity during the whole period in the m. soleus and up to the 14th day in the m. gastrocnemius. The role of nucleases and nuclease inhibitors in the changes of nucleic acid catabolism in neurogenic muscular atrophies is discussed.

The activities and androgenic regulation of seven lysosomal enzymes viz. acid phosphatase, N-acetyl hexosaminidase, alpha-mannosidase, beta-glucuronidase, DNase II, RNase II and phospholipase A was established in caput, corpus and cauda segments of monkey epididymis. Estimation of enzyme activities in the the epididymis of control, castrated and castrated-androgen replaced monkeys revealed that all the enzymes except RNase II showed higher activity in caput and corpus as compared to cauda. The enzymes were reduced markedly after castration and on subsequent androgen replacement there was a significant stimulation of the repressed activities, but the control levels were not restored. RNase II showed highest activity in cauda which was further elevated after castration. The possible role of these enzymes in sperm maturation and disposal is discussed.

Effects of treatmentin vivo with the antimalarials:chloroquine (CQ), primaquine (PQ) and quinine(Q) on lysosomal enzymes and lysosomal membrane integrity were examined. Treatment with the three antimalarials showed an apparent increase in the membrane stability. CQ treatment resulted in increase in both the 'free' and 'total' activities of all the enzymes i.e. acid phosphatase, RNase II, DNase II and cathepsin D. PQ treatment lowered the 'free' and 'total' activities of acid phosphatase and cathepsin D, but the DNase II activities increased. Treatment with Q resulted in increased 'free' and 'total' activities of RNase II and DNase II. While 'free' activities of acid phosphatase and cathepsin D were low; the 'total' activities increased significantly. Our results suggest that a generalized increase in free nucleases activities following prolonged treatment with antimalarials may lead to cell damage and/or necrosis.
