Used were ninety Swiss mice males divided into 9 groups (n=10). Three control groups [I, II, III] were injected with 0.9% NaCl solution, while six experimental groups (A, B, C, D, E, F) with the morphine hydrochloride. Mice from groups A, C and E were injected with a dose of 20 and those from B, D and F with a dose of 30 mg morphine per kg body weight. In each group, both solutions were administered intramuscularly once a day from 9: 00 to10: 00 a. m. for 4, 10 and 14 days.
In the lysosomal fraction of the liver and kidney the activities of cathepsin D, cathepsin L, alanine aminopeptidase, leucine aminopeptidase, lysosomal lipase, and beta-glucosidase were estimated. Morphine led to the increased activity of all examined enzymes except lysosomal lipase, the activity of which dropped in both organs examined.
