[Effect of axoplasmic flow blockade on enzymic activities and components of the rat muscle adenylate system].

Proteolytic aspartate and alanine aminotransferase, beta-D-galactosidase, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase activities, contents of phosphocreatine, AMP + IMP, ADP, ATP were studied in the rat musculi gastrocnemius after denervation and blockade of axoplasmic flow, the latter being caused by 0.05 M colchicin solution applied to the sciatic nerve. Two weeks after denervation and the axoflow disturbance all the indices (except the N-acetyl-beta-D-glucoseaminidase activity) showed uniform changes. A month following the colchicin blockade the phosphocreatine and adenylates contents became normal. A conclusion is made on significance of the axoplasmic flow as a factor performing the trophic function of the nervous system.
