The interfascicular oligodendroglia of the rat striatum nucleus is studied in control animals and under experimentally induced brain edemas. Enzyme histochemical studies were performed. Normal oligodendrocytes show two different enzymatic distributions. While Mg2+-ATPase, TPPase, TPPase, adenylate cyclase and SDH are shown to be situated at the cell bodies and some proximal processes, 5'-nucleotidase reaction is seen at the cell fine distal processes. In spite of its trong activity in oligodendroglial endings the latter enzyme is not seen at the myelin sheath. This sheath and the interfascicular cells being intimately related, 5'-nucleotidase appears to be important not only during myelination, as almost all authors emphasize, but also in the adult myelin metabolism. Experimental brain edema shows some changes in the interfasicular oligodendroglia enzymatic activites for 5'-nucleotidase, Mg2+-ATPase and adenylate cyclase. A progressive disappearance of the former enzyme is observed. These features and those of derived from local ionic alterations may be concerned with the special susceptibility of white matter for some types of brain swellings.

The influence of extraneous supplementation of L-ascorbic acid in chronic chlordane toxicity has been studied in rats. Oral administration of chlordane brings about a marked growth retardative effect, stimulates vitamin C synthesis in the system, elevates the vitamin C status of the liver and kidney tissues and also the urinary excretion. It inhibits the activities of acid and alkaline phosphatases, SDH and Mg2+-ATPase of both hepatic and renal tissues. The activities of serum and mitochondrial GOT, serum alkaline phosphatase, and glucose-6-phosphatase of both hepatic and renal tissues are markedly stimulated. The normal histological patterns of both liver and kidney tissues are grossly altered under chlordane toxicity condition. There occurs marked increase in the hepatic lipid composition. Supplementation of L-ascorbic acid in high doses to the chlordane treated rats can effectively counteract some of these alterations in respect of enzyme activities, morphological characteristics and of hepatic lipid composition.
