Attempts were made to purify and characterize cysteine proteinases in human eccrine sweat and further clarify their origin. Benzoyl-DL-arginine-beta-naphthylamide (BANA) and L-leucine beta-naphthylamide (LeuNA) hydrolases in thermally induced sweat were sequentially purified by Sephacryl S-200 chromatography and chromatofocusing, which yielded

Levels of soluble aminopeptidase (AP), measured as arylamidase activity using L-Leucine-2-Naphthylamide (Leu-2-NA) as substrate, were determined in the soluble fraction of eleven zones of rat brain. Results showed that AP activity is asymmetrically distributed in frontal cortex and hypothalamus with
