Changes of adenosine triphosphatase activity in the testes of albino rats under combined influence of low-frequency vibration and intoxication with the herbicide "Ramrod".
The authors follow up the changes of the ATP-ase activity in the testes of albino rats under the influence of Ramrod and low-frequency vibrations, applied separately or in combination. They find that under the influence of a 30-days vibration period upon the gonads of the test animals, there appear changes in the energetic metabolism of a utilizing type, which manifest themselves with an increase of the enzyme activity. The intoxication with Ramrod during four months decreases that activity, whereas through prolongation of the intoxicating period the effect is reverse. The combination of both factors induces a synergetic action which is followed by a considerable increase of the ATP-ase activity.
