Abstract

Cortisone causes a marked increase in the activity of liver acid alpha-glucosidase 2h after injection into male Wistar rats. Studies on rat liver tissue slices, isolated lysosomes and cultured skin fibroblasts have demonstrated similar elevations of acid alpha-glucosidase activity after incubation with cortisone. Cortisone-treated human liver tissue, obtained by needle biopsy, also shows an increase in acid alpha-glucosidase activity. Neutral alpha-glucosidase activity was not stimulated by cortisone in vivo or in liver slices.
