From studies on the release of acid phosphatase and .beta.-glucuronidase, it was observed that quercetin, a vitamin P like compound and ascorbic acid stabilize while dehydroascorbate, acetoacetate and .beta.-hydroxybutyrate labilize human leukocytic lysosomes in vitro. These effects were compared with chloroquine and progesterone, known stabilizer and destabilizer, respectively. The possible mode of lysosomal labilization by ketone bodies and dehydroascorbate was suggested.
