ABSTRACT

Objective To study changes in ACE, LDH and AKP in BALF and blood after rapid decompression in rabbits. Methods Thirty healthy New-Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into low decompression group and rapid decompression group. The respective activity of ACE, LDH and AKP in BALF and blood of rabbits was measured. Results Various degrees of increase in activity of ACE, LDH and AKP in BALF were observed after rapid decompression. Conclusion The simultaneous enhancement of activity of these enzymes suggest that there was injury to the lung consistent with the degree of injury after rapid decompression.
