To investigate the cause of accumulation of oxidised proteins in the livers of rats with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced liver cirrhosis, the activity of alkaline protease (a high molecular weight, multisubunit cysteine proteinase) was determined in the cirrhotic livers. A significant decrease (P < 0.05) in the activity of hepatic alkaline protease was observed in the cirrhotic rats. Decreased activity of alkaline protease in the liver of cirrhotic rats may contribute to the accumulation of the oxidised proteins in the liver.
