Abstract
The histochemical distribution and quantitative chemical and histochemical changes in acid phosphatase activity were studied in rat pituitary and thyroid glands in various phases of secretory activity. The histochemically determined enzyme activity paralleled hormonal secretion. This could be confirmed chemically for the thyroid. The acid phosphatase activity appeared to be localized in the Golgi apparatus in these organs.Keywords
