Abstract
MARKED changes in the distribution of histochemically determined alkaline phosphatase in the mouse adrenal cortex under different hormonal conditions have been demonstrated (1). The locus of this enzyme is disparate following administration of testosterone proprionate, estradiol benzoate or adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) to castrate animals. In view of these topographic alterations obtained in the case of alkaline phosphatase it appeared desirable to investigate the effect of varied physiological status on other enzymes in this tissue. The behavior of chemically and histochemically determined non-specific esterase (aliesterase) under hormonal influences and altered sodium intake forms the subject of this paper. All work was carried out on adrenal glands from pure bred BALB/c Jax male mice 90–180 days of age. Aliesterase was determined histochemically as described by Pearse (2) using alpha-naphthyl acetate as substrate and Fast Blue Salt B (General Dyestuff Company), Diazo Garnet GBC (duPont Company) ...
