Twelve acid hydrolases, 4 near-neutral hydrolases, and alkaline phosphatase were demonstrated in 0.34 M sucrose homogenates of Trypanosoma cruzi strain Y: p-nitrophenylphosphatase and alpha-naphthylphosphatase, with optimum pH at approximately 6.0; alpha=ga;actpsodase. beta=ga;actpsodase. beta=g;icpsodase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, cathepsin A and peptidase I and III, with optimum pH between 5.0 and 6.0; and arylsulfatase, cathepsin D, alpha-arabinase and alpha-mannosidase with optimum pH at approximately 4.0. alpha-Glucosidase, glucose-6-phosphatase and peptidase II had optimum pH at approximately 7.0. beta-Glycerophosphatase had a broad pH-activity curve from 4,0 to 7.4, with maximum activity at pH 7.0. The main kinetic characteristics of these enzymes and their quantitative assay methods were studied. No activity was detected for alpha-fucosidase, beta-xylosidase, beta-glucuronidase, elaidate esterase, acid lipase, and alkaline phosphodiesterase.

Chronic alcohol intoxication led to an increase in activity of alcohol dehydrogenase and to decrease -- of aldehyde dehydrogenase and the microsomal ethanol oxidizing system (MEOS) with simultaneous activation of cytochrome P-450 in liver tissue of rats during ontogenesis. Ethanol, which did not affect the enzymatic status of lysosomes within ontogenesis (alpha- and beta-glucosidases, alpha- and beta-galactosidases, alpha-mannosidase, beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, beta-xylosidase, beta-glucuronidase, beta-N-acetyl galactosaminidase acid RNAase, arylsulfatases A and B, cathepsin D), activated the majority of hydrolases in both embryonal and postnatal periods of development. Distinct increase in lipoperoxidation was detected under conditions of chronic alcohol intoxication.
