[Changes in beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity of blood leukocytes in patients with arterial hypertension]. / Izmeneniia aktivnosti beta-N-atsetilgliukozaminidazy leikotsitov krovi u bol'nykh arterial'noi gipertenziei.

Activities of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucoseaminidase and of its A and B forms were studied in leukocytes of healthy persons and in patients with hypertension, hypertension combined with ischemic heart disease and in patients with ischemic heart disease. In healthy persons activity of the enzyme B form was increased with ageing. In the patients activities of both total N-acetyl-beta-D-glucoseaminidase and of its two forms were decreased.
