title: [Cytochemical analysis of selected enzymes in granulocytes from the peripheral blood of coke plant employees].
abstract: Cytochemical reactions detecting catalase and myeloperoxidase in the peripheral blood neutrophils were carried out in coke plants employees. Intensity of the cytochemical reactions were expressed as total score and compared with the values obtained in corresponding control group. An increase in both enzymes activity, especially catalase, was seen. It is assumed that the in enzymatic activity may be related to iron-porphyrins being prosthetic group of these enzymes.
