Enzyme histochemistry has several medical applications:
1. Cancer Detection: Certain tumors exhibit unique enzyme activity profiles, aiding in diagnosis and classification. 2. Neuropathology: Studying enzyme activity in brain tissues can reveal the presence of neurodegenerative diseases. 3. Liver Diseases: Enzyme patterns in liver biopsies help diagnose conditions like hepatitis and cirrhosis. 4. Muscle Disorders: Analyzing muscle enzyme activity can diagnose conditions such as muscular dystrophy.
