| Abstract: | In the series of experiments alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase activity was daily determined at the same time by cytochemical method in the peripheral lymphocyte of normal rats and those with Walker carcinosarcoma. Using an original algorithm a hierarchy of biorhythms was singled out on a computer according to the individual changes in alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase activity in each rat. It was shown that tumor development resulted in the reduction of the mean level of alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase activity and considerable changes in diverse rhythms. Particular attention is paid to the phase changes, which can reveal changes in phase coordination of glycerophosphate shuttle cycle components. |
