A possible explanation for the occurrence of increased β-hexosaminidase activity in pregnancy serum

摘要: Abstract The activities of the lysosomal enzymes β-hexosaminidase, β-glucuronidase, and β-galactosidase were confirmed to be elevated in serum from pregnant women. increased activity β-hexosaminidase β-glucuronidase showed same changes isoenzyme pattern as found patients with some liver affections. In light recent findings, (and other enzymes) pregnancy disease might depend upon non-parenchymal cells not being able properly clear these blood.
