Abstract

Enzymatic activity in cells of the muscular-intestinal plexus of the esophagus, duodenum and rectum has been studied cytophotometrically. Glucose-6-phosphatase dehydrogenase, NADPh-dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase (APh), monoamine oxidase, acetylcholine esterase (AChE) have been revealed in 19-20-day-old embryos, in 1-, 21-, 30-day-old rats and in mature rats. A high APh activity is revealed in all the groups studied; in the process of development the duodenum legs behind, concerning AChE activity. This demonstrates certain peculiarities in its mediator regime. Evidently, dyskinetic phenomena in the middle part of the gastrointestinal tract in children are connected with this. Enzymatic activity, connected with general metabolic processes, demonstrates that differentiation develops towards decreasing amount of cellular types, while the enzymes, that are connected with metabolism of the mediators, demonstrate an increasing variability of cells in the process of their differentiation.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
