title: [Enzyme activity in the cerebrospinal fluid in patients with brain gliomas].
abstract: The spinal fluid activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AAT), alkaline phosphatase (AP), and gamma-gluthamyl transferase were studied in 32 patients with cerebral gliomas to clarify the diagnostic role of these enzymes. There were different changes in their activities in groups of patients with low-differential and differential gliomas. Its was ascertained that higher AAT activity was due to the fact that blood had entered spinal fluid; increased AP activity may be regarded to be an indicator of higher permeability of the blood-brain barrier.
