[Aminotransferase and dehydrogenase activity in human brain tumours].
Asparate and alanine aminotransferase activity is approximately the same in different lobes of cerebral hemispheres of people with an uninjured central nervous system. The maximal activity of lactate, malate and succinate dehydrogenase is in the temporal lobes and thalami, the minimal one is in the corpus callosum. The activity of aminotransferases in the brain tumour lowers: in the dedifferentiated tumour the asparate aminotransferase shows a 23-24% decrease; in the case of the meningeal sarcoma it is 2.5 times as low: the activity of alaine aminogransferase is almost 10 times as low. The activity of malate dehydrogenase decreases in the neuroectodermal tumours and sharply (almost twice) in multiform glioblastoma. In the dedifferentiated meningiomas the activity of all the dehydrogenases is increased.
