[The status of lysosomal beta-glucuronidase in liver tissue of swine of different constitution].
This paper deals with cellular-physiological changes in regard to adaptative problems in the pig. As an example for lysosomal catabolism, beta-glucuronidase activity in liver tissue of pigs with different constitution is presented. Male slaughter pigs (n = 120), equally distributed on the breeds Piétrain, German Large White and German Landrace, are used for the investigation. The results show significant variances between, as well as within the breeds. Partly high significant, positive correlations exist between beta-glucuronidase activity and survival rates. The importance of beta-glucuronidase activity and the lysosomes for adaptative constitution and development in the pig is discussed.
