A. ALD activities were determind of the normal human organs (the brain, cardiac muscle, liver, spleen, bowel, psoas muscle, kidney, prostate, seminal vesicle, epididymis, testis) and the tumor bearing organs (renal pelvic cancer, Wilms' tumor, vesical cancer, prostatic cancer).
B. ALD activities were highest in the psoas muscle which were followed by the brain. Urogenitally, the enzymatic activities of the prostate were highest which were approximately of the same activity of the liver.
C. Increased activities were not observed in the tumor bearing organs including a case of renal pelvic cancer, and 12 cases of prostatic tumors (4 cases of cancer, and 8 cases of hyportrophy).
The enzymatic activities in vesical cancer were twice as high as those in the normal while those in Wilms' tumor were less than one third of the normal.
D. ALD activities did not necessarily inereased in the tumor bearing tissues.
Some discussions were made on correlation between the body fluid and tumor bearing tissues.
