title: [Hydrolases of the digestive and nondigestive organs in rhesus macaque monkeys].
abstract: Distribution of activity of a wide range of hydrolases was characterised in the duodenum, ileum, jejunum, and colon, as well as in the liver, kidney and spleen in Macaca rhesus. The findings suggest presence of a complex enzyme system performing the membrane and intracellular hydrolysis of nutritional substances, in the small intestine of the primates as well as other mammals. This system, along with the hydrolases of the colon and non-digestive organs, seems to function as an enzymatic barrier.
