  • Title: Effects of cathepsin B, H, and D in pectoral muscle of dystrophic chickens (line 413) of in vivo administration of E-64-c (N-[N-(L-3-transcarboxyoxirane-2-carbonyl)-L-leucyl]-3-methyl-butylamine).

    Abstract:
    The total activities of cathepsin B and cathepsin H in pectoral muscle of dystrophic chickens (Line 413) were about two times higher than in control chickens (Line 412), and cathepsin D activity was about 3 times higher in this muscle in the dystrophic chickens. When E-64-c, a synthesized potent thiol inhibitor was injected subcutaneously, in various doses, daily for 80 days into dystrophic chickens (L 413), the activities of cathepsin B and cathepsin H were reduced to the levels in control chickens (Line 412), but cathepsin D activity, which is insensitive to E-64-c in vitro, was not changed.
