A primary culture of hepatocytes from new born rats was used as an experimental model suitable for studies of the cell lysosomal apparatus and of molecular mechanisms involving cyclic nucleotides for initiation of lysosomal response to extremal conditions. Substrate deficiency and anoxia of the cultivated hepatocytes were found to cause distinct alterations in the state of lysosomal apparatus accompanied by an increase in free activity of acid phosphatase.
