Dorsolateral prostatic phosphomonoesterases and adenosine triphosphatases in hypo- and hyperthyroid rats. Indian Journal of Experimental Biology. 1994 Sep; 32(9): 616-8http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/61463Specific activities of phosphomonoesterases (acid and alkaline phosphatases) and adenosine triphosphatases (Mg2+, Ca2+ and Na+/K+ dependent ATPases) of dorsolateral prostate were studied in albino rats, under altered thyroid hormone status. Thyroidectomy induced hypothyroidism and thyroxine administered hyperthyroidism (25 micrograms/100 g body wt/day for 60 days, im) showed no impact on the activity of acid phosphatase. Three fold decrease in the activity of alkaline phosphatase was observed in hyperthyroid group. Ca2+ and Mg2+ dependent ATPases were significantly decreased in hypo- and hyperthyroid status whereas Na+/K+ ATPase was decreased in hyperthyroidism and showed an opposite trend in hypothyroid group.engAdenosine Triphosphatases --metabolismAnimalsHyperthyroidism --enzymologyHypothyroidism --enzymologyMalePhosphoric Monoester Hydrolases --metabolismProstate --enzymologyRatsRats, WistarJournal Article
