title: Cytochemical demonstration of lysosomes in skeletal and cardiac striated muscle of fish and turtles.
abstract: Skeletal and cardiac striated muscle from two species of fish and turtles were incubated for the cytochemical detection of trimetaphosphatase (TMPase) activity. The results showed that striated muscle from these animals has TMPase-positive structures, which are presumed to be lysosomes.
