title: [Enzyme histochemical studies of the general body surface apocrine glands in the domestic cat].
abstract: With enzyme histochemical methods, the distribution and the activities of various oxidative and hydrolytic enzymes in the apocrine glands of the general body surface of the domestic cat were investigated. The results obtained support the view that these glands are clearly active in function. On the whole, however, the relatively weak enzyme activities in the secretory portion of the glands point to only unimportant secretion production rates.
