CYTOCHEMICAL STUDY OF DEHYDROGENASE ACTIVITY IN THE TISSUES OF PIG FEMALE GENITAL SYSTEM AFTER INJECTION OF XENOGENIC CEREBROSPINAL FLUID

The experimental study was performed to evaluate the biological effects of parenteral injection of cerebrospinal fluid (SCF) on the uterus, uterine tubes and the ovary of piglets aged 60 days. Lactating cows aged 4-6 years after first calving were taken as SCF donors, since their SCF contained maximal spectrum of biologically active substances. For injection the whole SCF, SCF after passage through bacterial filters and SCF supernatant were used. The effect of SCF was assessed using histological and histochemical (succinate- and lactate dehydrogenases demonstration) methods. It was found that SCF preparations studied had differential effect on oxidative-reduction processes in the tissues of reproductive system organs of immature pigs, that is associated with the broad spectrum of biologically active substances in mammalian SCF.
