ABSTRACT
Determination of normal values of serum enzymes in Acipenser persicus. Descriptive study. Fifteen male and 17 female Acipenser persicus. Blood samples were obtained by veinponcture and the levels of enzymes were measured using an autoanalyzer. Parametric t-test and pearson correlation tests. Values of enzymes were determined as: Asparat amino transferase [AST] = 294. 59 +/- 61.26 IU/L, Alanine amino transferase [ALT] = 5.96 +/- 1.27 IU/L, Alkanine phosphatae [ALP] =74.68 +/- 13.59 IU/L, Lactate dehyrogenase [LDH] = 20118.43 +/- 507.55 IU/L, Creatine phosphokinase [CK] =6878.70 +/- 1832.63 IU/L and Acid phosphatase [ACP] = 16.06 +/- 2.71 IU/L. There was a significant difference in CK activity between female [7609.41 +/- 1674.16 Iu/lit] and male [5991.42 +/- 1659.77 Iu/lit] fishes. Moreover there was significant correlation between AlT and ACP values [P<0.05, r=0.382]
