Popis: We studied the effects of a single semax administration to rats on the activity of carboxypeptidase H, a basic carboxypeptidase involved in the final stage of formation of biologically active peptides from their precursors. We found that the drug induced a long-term increase in the activity of carboxypeptidase, which lasted for 24 h. We believe that this change in the activity of the enzyme studied may serve as one of the factors that mediate semax action.
