Notes:
Lactic dehydrogenase activity was studied in hair follicles from both the bald and hairy regions of the scalp of the stump-tailed macaque by the application of the method of Lineweaver-Burk to the histochemistry. There was no difference between terminal and vellus follicles in total lactic dehydrogenase activity. During anagen, the activity was higher in the lower part of the external sheath and was similar to that in the bulbar sac. The activity of the heart-type lactic dehydrogenase (H-LDH) was high in the matrix, whereas that of the muscle-type lactic dehydrogenase (M-LDH) was high in the external sheath of the lower and upper bulb portions. The activity of M-LDH in the matrix of terminal hair follicles was extremely low compared with that in vellus follicles. In telogen, however, there was no difference between the two types of follicles.
