[Activity of energy metabolism enzymes and their isoenzymic spectra in normal prostate and testis tissue and in experimental prostatitis].

The paper deals with the effect of bacterial affection of the canine prostate on the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDG), malate dehydrogenase (MDG), isocytrate dehydrogenase (IDG), succinate dehydrogenase (SDG), isoenzymic spectrum of LDG and MDG in the prostate tissue and the activity of LDG and its isoenzymic spectrum in the testis tissue. It is established that two months after the infection the activity of LDG in the prostate tissue increases and that of IDG and SDG lowers. The activity of LDG1 and LDG2 drops and that of LDG3, LDG4, LDG5 rises. In the testis tissue changes in the activity of LDG and its isoenzymic spectrum have the same tendency, however they are pronounced to a much less extent. The activity of LDG kappa lowers essentially. In winter the intensity of oxygen uptake by the normal tissues under study falls, however no changes are observed in the activity of LDG kappa in the testis. An assumption is advanced that the bacterial affection of the prostate may have an inhibitory effect on the generative function of the testis.
