Abstract
Summary Specimens of gastric and distal duodenal mucosa from the chimpanzee, man, and monkey were compared for activity of nonspecific esterase, alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, succinate dehydrogenase, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate dehydrogenases, and cytochrome oxidase. Except for an abnormal distribution of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate dehydrogenase in the chimpanzee small bowel, which may well have been the result of some chronic inflammatory response, all the enzymes studied in the three species of primates had essentially the same localization and intensity of reaction.
