Lysosomen und Peroxisomen der Rattenleber: Zielorganellen für die Wirkungsentfaltung ausgewählter mineralischer Homöopathika
Dissertation. Hannover; 1991.
The administered substances are the mineral homoeopathics Ferrum phosphoricum, Kalium cyanatum and Molybdaenum sulfuratum as well as Arsenicum album in different potencies. These active agents were orally administered over a period of seven days. Every potency tested was administered to a group of six rats.
The lysosomal parameters N-acetyl-ß-Dglucosanimidase, B-D-galactosidase, the acid phosphatase also occuring in lysosomes and the lysosomal proteases as well as the peroxisomal uric oxidase, all deriving from the liver, were subject to possible influence of these stimuli.
The examinations revealed the following results:
1. The existence of a maximum effect after seven single doses of the DH 8 - potency as a rule.
2. Depending on the parameter this effect resulted in an activation or depression of the individual enzymes measured.
3. In this respect the selected parameters were influenced by the individual substances in a way depending on the character of the of the chemical compound.
The peroxisomal hepatic urate oxidase showed a maximum effect after administration of Arsenicum album DH 8. An additional experiment was carried out to study whether the number of peroxisomes can be influenced by this potency. This assumption was proved by enzymhistochemical examination.
The effects discovered are described and discussed.
