Serum enzyme changes in calves experimentally infected with Schistosoma bovis

The activities of the enzymes SD, GD, AAT, 5′NT, GGT, LDH and CPK were determined weekly in sera of two calves each infected with 10 000 S. bovis cercariae and in two controls. In infected animals, LDH activity increased from the first week of exposure and remained high throughout the experiment (22...

More Information
Summary:The activities of the enzymes SD, GD, AAT, 5′NT, GGT, LDH and CPK were determined weekly in sera of two calves each infected with 10 000 S. bovis cercariae and in two controls. In infected animals, LDH activity increased from the first week of exposure and remained high throughout the experiment (22 weeks). GGT activity increased nine weeks after exposure and remained high. CPK activity was elevated during weeks 8–15 of infection. No change was detected in the activity of the other enzymes, nor in any enzymes of the controls.
