LABILIZATION OF RAT LIVER LYSOSOMES BY 2-PHENETHYL ALCOHOL

ARUNA JOSHI, K H SREEDHARA SWAMY, G RAMANANDA RAO

Abstract


2-phenethyl  alcohol  labilizes  rat  liver  lysosomes  and  releases  the  lysosomal  enzymes,  viz.,  acid phosphatase,  ,beta-glucuronidase  and  arylsuifatase  A.  The  release  of  enzymes  is  dependent  on  the concentration of  PEA.  PEA  shows  a  differential  effect  on  the release  of  these  lysosornal  enzymes. The  lysosonze  labilizing  action  of PEA  is  not dependent  on  the  pH  of the  incubation  medium.


Keywords


Mode of action of 2-phenethyl alcohol; lysosomes.
