title: Activity of phosphatases and succinic dehydrogenase in the trigeminal ganglion of the corticosteroid-treated mouse.
abstract: Immature mice were treated for 21 days with daily doses of triamcinolone diacetate. The trigeminal ganglion was studied enzymatically for the activity of alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, ATPase and succinic dehydrogenase. It became apparent that the prolonged treatment with a potent corticosteroid hormone did not affect significantly the in vivo activity of the above enzymes. Some enzymes even appeared to have increased their intracellular activity. The heterogeneous effect of corticosteroid upon their peripheral target organs is discussed.
