Acid phosphatase activity in normal and denervated chick skeletal muscle. 1978

S S Katoch, and S Dhingra, and R K Malhotra

Histochemical and biochemical changes in acid phosphatase activity were studied in the normal and denervated gastrocnemii of chick for a maximum period of 8 weeks. In the normal muscle, fibre heterogeneity with respect muscles exhibit greater susceptibility to degenerative changes on account of denervation. Quantitatively higher enzyme levels in the denervated muscles confirm the lytic role of acid phosphatase.
