title: Enzymatic changes in peripheral blood leukocytes in rats in subacute benzene vapours poisoning. II. The activity of neutrophils enzymes.
abstract: The activity of some enzymes of neutrophils in peripheral blood of rats in subacute benzene vapour poisoning (an exposure to the concentration of benzene vapour of 27.000 mg/m3, 6 hr daily for 10 consecutive days) was determined cytochemically. Increase in the activity of alkaline phosphatase and decrease in that of acid hydrolases: acid phosphatase, beta-glucuronidase and beta-glucosaminidase were found. The results obtained indicate destructive action of benzene on lysosomes of peripheral blood neutrophils.
