Abstract
The distribution of various hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes was studied histochemically in the livers of rats, mice, dogs, cats, and cattle. The enzymes investigated comprised non-specific alkaline phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, succinic tetrazolium reductase, DPN diaphorase, glutamic, lactic and sorbitol dehydrogenases. The comparative merits of 2 techniques for the demonstration of succinic tetrazolium reductase were evaluated. It was found that the optimal incubation period for the demonstration of adenosine triphosphatase in the canaliculi of dog liver was considerably in excess of that required for the other species investigated.
