The extent of liver and kidney damage in 10 young steers, infected with a stabilate of Theileria annulata, was estimated by the determination of enzymes (GOT, GPT, SDH, ALD), serum levels of bilirubin and urea. At the same time the effectiveness of some liver protecting medical agents was tested. The following results were obtained: Change in the activity of the enzymes GOT, SDH and ALD and the increase of bilirubin during the advanced course of the disease are indicative of severe tissue damage in the liver. The levels of urea were found to be in the normal range with only a few exceptions. This seems to exclude the involvement of the kidney in the disease. The group of animals receiving liver protecting medication did not show any difference compared with those animals without medication.

The authors examined the activity of GOT, GPT, LDH and ALD in the myometrium of ovariectomized female rats, treated with testosterone. There was a eduction in the activity of the examined enzymes in both experimental groups of animals in comparison with the group of healthy rats. The reduction of the enzymic myometrial activity was considerably more manifested in the group of ovariectomized rats than in those treated with testosterone. The results were interpreted as a consequence of the reduced synthesis of proteins enzymes due to insufficient estrogen stimulation in the myometrial tissue, sensitive to estrogen. There was a possibility also that the reduction of the enzymic synthesis was caused by energetic deficit on account of insufficient transhydrogenase activity as a result of the reduced estrogen concentrations.

The paper described the findings of the activity of aspartate amino transferase (GOT) and alanine amino transferase (GPT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (AP), and aldolase in the blood serum of calves examined for white-muscle disease (WMD). Relapsing mass accurrence of the disease was reported from various agricultural enterprises where calves were fed a milk replacer without vitamin E. In comparison with clinically healthy calves fed a feed mixture with vitamin E, calves suffering from the clinical form of WMD showed an alkaline phosphatase level decrease from 32.3 +/- 7.6 u. K. A. to 15.1 +/- 8.2 u. K. A. On the other hand, the activites of ALD, GOT, GPT, and LDH showed a statistically significant increase. The acute and sub-acute course of the disease increased enzyme activities as follows: ALD from 4.2 +/- 1.1 mumol (= 70.0 +/- 17.0 i.u.) to 9.7 +/- 2.1 mumol (= 163.0 +/- 33.2 i. u.), GOT from 0.9 +/-0.5 mumol (= 68.0 +/- 5.8 i.u.) to 16.7 +/- 11.7 mumol (= 567.0 +/-40.0 i. u.) GPT from 0.2 +/- 0.8 mumol (= 5.0 +/- 12.4 i. u.) to 9.8 +/- 2.8 mumol (= 330.0 +/- 40.4 i.u.), LDH from 46.1 +/- 5.4 mumol (= 765.0 +/- 40.0 i.u.) to 72.7 +/- 24.3 mumol (= 1,207.0 +/- 403.0 i.u.). In WMD-affected herds, similar enzyme activity fluctuations were observed even in calves showing no clinical signs of the disease. It follows from the study that the examination of serum enzymes provides a method to demonstrate the clinical and pre-clinical forms of white-muscle disease and that it can be included in the set of tests for the diagnosis of diseases in calves. The significant differences in all calves in the affected herds show that the disease is a danger to all animals in the herd fed a deficient mixture.

We studied simultaneously in serum (S) and CSF (L) the enzyme activities of GOT, GPT, LDH, ICDH, MDH, ALD, and CPK in 28 patients with head injuries divided into three groups according to the severity of the trauma. We found a correlation between severity of brain lesion and enzyme activity. The best correlation was found for SGOT, SCPK, LGOT, LLDH, LMDH and LCPK. We do not believe that enzyme activity is of prognostic value. We think that further studies should be made of the specific isoenzymes of the Central Nervous System.

A description is given of an outbreak of equine infectious anaemia (E.I.A.) in Campania [at Naples and Aversa (Caserta)]; it was diagnosed by clinical, pathological and serological examinations (Coggins test). Using the serum of 45 horses with E.I.A. and 11 healthy horses (controls), numerous investigations were carried out on: enzymes, intrinsic coagulation factors, lipids and other substances. The results obtained were very interesting and show that in this disease there are significant increases in many enzymes (LDH, LAP, gamma-GT, CPK, PK and ALD) and copper. Insignificant increases were found in other enzymes (SDH, GLDH, MDH, ICDH, AIP, lysozyme, cholinesterase, GOT and GPT) and also intrinsic coagulation factors, lipid substances (total cholesterol, esterified cholesterol, triglycerides) and glucose. LDH-1-isoenzyme remains unchanged, whilst AcP decreases slightly.

The study was carried out on rats of the Wistar strain with experiments hypertension by the method of Selye, modified by Kolarova. These authors examined the activity of the enzymes of protein metabolism (GOT, GPT, AP), of glycolysis (ALD, LDH, alpha-HBDH) and of the citric cycle (MDH) in the left and right kidney at various intervals after modeling the process (3th, 15th, 30th and 90th day). The activity of the enzymes of the glycolytic chain and the cycle of Krebs in the left kidney was lowered at all stages of the experiment. Transaminase activity diminished progressively. Such a dynamics revealed the activity of adenosine phosphate as well. The activity of all examined enzymes of the right kidney showed phase changes-after initial elevation on the third day there was a lowering at the later stages of the experiment. The altered activity off the left kidney was connected with the disturbed vascularization with subsequent metabolic changes. The changes in the enzymic activity in the right kidney were assumed as a consequence of the occurred adaptive hyperfunction.

Serum activity analyses of nine enzymes [CPK, HBDH, SDH, ALP, GPT, GOT, LDH, MDH, ALD] in patients with rheumaitc carditis revealed certain elevations of the mean values of LDH, GOT, HBDH, GPT, ALP and MDH. These changes have no particular diagnostic importance because similar findings were also obtained in patients with both rheumatic and nonrheumatic arthritis. The changes occurring during antirheumatic treatment are minimal and statistically not significant. Greater elevations of LDH, ALD, GOT, HBDH, GPT, MDH, and ALP are found in patients with decompensated rheumatic heart disease associated with active rheumatic carditis.

Nonvaccinated pigs were infected with a pathogenic virus of swine fever in order to follow up the changes with some enzymes in their blood serum. It was found that there is a dependable rise in the values of the blood serum GOT (2.6.1. 1.) - From about 38 to approximately 108 mU per cu. cm; GPT (2. 6; 1.2.;-From about 12 up to 66 mU/cu. cm; LAP (3. 4. 1. 1)-from about 13 to 27 mU/cu. cm; and ALD (4. 1; 2. 7.) - from about 6 up to 19 mU/cu. cm. These changes were noticed as early as the 48th hour of infection, prior to the manifestation of the clinical symptoms of swine fever. They remained stable up to the end of the infection process. The activity of LDH (1. 1. 2. 7.) and amylase (3. 2. 1.1 .) was said to rise (not dependable statistically), and that of cholinesterase (3. 1 1. 8) - to drop gradually with the development of the infection process. The two phosphomonoesterases (3. 1. 3. 1 and 3. 1. 3. 2.) showed no essential changes. The changes taking place in the activity of these enzymes did not depend on the extent of the hemorrhagic diathesis characteristic of swine fever. So, this test, which has been unknown so far, is referred to as a characteristic paraclinical symptom of swine fever.

The author carried out on 35 cats a study on the protein content, potasium and sodium. aldolase, GOT, GPT and LDH of the uterine muscle. The animals were divided into three groups: first-15 nonpregnant cats, second-10 pregnant cats at the first half of pregnancy and third-10 pregnant cats at the second half of pregnancy. He used a piece of uterine muscle from which proteins were extracted by solutions of potasium iodide with various strength. The total protein was determined by the method of Loury, but the sarcoplasmic proteins were examined electrophoretically. Electrolytes were estimated by flame photometer. The enzyme activity was examined by the reagents of "Boehringer". There was an increase of the amount of myosin and of the enzyme active sarcoplasmic protein fraction in the myometrium of pregnant animals. Potasium was increased in the uterine muscle during pregnancy, but sodium decreased. Enxyme activity of ALD, GOT and GPT was the highest in animals from the second group, but that of LDH-in the third group.
