Effect of electropolarity treatment on activity levels of oxidative enzymes in gastrocnemius muscle of toad, Bufo melanostictus, during early stages of denervation.
The activity levels of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and cytochrome-C-oxidase showed a decrement whereas lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) evinced maximum activity during first 3 days of denervation. Under the impact of cathodal polarity treatment an elevation in the activity levels of these 4 enzymes was relatively more potent when compared to anodal polarity treatment. The role of polarity treatment in the regulation of these oxidative enzymes was discussed.
