title: Effect of electropolarity treatment on activity levels of oxidative enzymes in gastrocnemius muscle of toad, Bufo melanostictus, during early stages of denervation.
abstract: 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.
