Effect of Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning on Acid Phosphatase Activity of Prostate Gland In Rat: Histochemical Study

• Lee HY

Abstract

Effect of acute carbon monoxide poisoning on prostatic acid phosphatase in white rat hag been studied histochemically. The experimental animals were exposed to 0.25% and O. 5% of carbon monoxide from 5 minutes to 4 hours duration. Gomori's modified method was used for acid phosphatase test. Following results are obtained: 1. The acid phosphatase activity increases after 30minutes of exposure in both experimental groups, 0.25% and 0.5% of carbon monoxide, and the changes of acid phosphatase activity become more significant according to the duration of exposure. 2. The changes of acid phosphatase activity are similar in both experimental groups exposed to 0.25% and 0.5% of carbon monoxide. 3. No significant histopathological changes are observed in rat prostate gland.
