| Abstract: | The lead method was applied to determine the localization of the ATP-asic activity in the rat and human brains at different periods after death. This activity was revealed in the cytoplasm of the cells, chromatin and the nucleolus, and also in the synaptic terminals. In the vascular capillaries the product of reaction was localized in the basal layer and on the cytomembrane of the endothelial cells. The results obtained pointed to a good preservation of the ATP-asic activity in the postmortem brain. |
