The sex and age dependence of activity of eight glycosidases and acid phosphatase was assayed in serum samples using the 4-methylumbelliferyl substrates. The activity of these enzymes does not change in relation to sex and to age except for acid phosphatase and beta-galactosidase which show significantly higher values in children as compared to adults. The usefulness of the 4-MU substrates for the detection of homozygotes for those lysosomal diseases involving one of the glycosidases studied is discussed.

Abstract
The sex and age dependence of activity of eight glycosidases and acid phosphatase was assayed in serum samples using the 4-methylumbelliferyl substrates. The activity of these enzymes does not change in relation to sex and to age except for acid phosphatase and beta-galactosidase which show significantly higher values in children as compared to adults. The usefulness of the 4-MU substrates for the detection of homozygotes for those lysosomal diseases involving one of the glycosidases studied is discussed.
