Acid phosphatase activity was studied in the left and right ovaries of the chick during embryonic development. The cytochemical study indicated that local enzymatic activity is localized mainly in germ and somatic cells. From the results obtained in the study on the specific activity of this acid hydrolase, it can be inferred that the higher concentration of this enzyme in the right ovary would be determined by a decrease of total proteins in the total homogenate and in the cellular fractions of this organ. Besides, a decrease in the enzymatic activity of this ovary is not observed, but it occurs in the left ovary. This finding would indicate a lack of enzymatic segregation that could be related to the phenomenon of ovarian atrophy. Finally, the electrophoretic study indicated that it would apparently exist only one molecular form of the enzyme. Our results support the hypothesis that acid phosphatase would be involved in the atrophic processes of the right ovary during embryonary differentiation.
对雏鸡胚胎发育过程中左右卵巢的酸性磷酸酶活性进行了研究。细胞化学研究表明，局部酶活性主要定位于生殖细胞和体细胞。从对这种酸性水解酶比活性的研究结果可以推断，右卵巢中该酶较高的浓度是由该器官总匀浆和细胞组分中总蛋白的减少所决定的。此外，未观察到该卵巢酶活性的降低，但左卵巢却出现了这种情况。这一发现表明缺乏可能与卵巢萎缩现象相关的酶分离。最后，电泳研究表明该酶显然仅存在一种分子形式。我们的结果支持这样一种假设，即酸性磷酸酶参与胚胎分化过程中右卵巢的萎缩过程。
