Normal levels of SGO-T and SGP-T in healty Burmese adults

A variable range of normal SGO-T and SGP-T and activities have beenreported by various authors. With the colorimetric method of Reitman and Frankelthe normal levels of SGO-T and SGP-T in 120 Burmese adults were studied. Specimens for analysis were obtained from healthy active blood donors and factory workers. The results were analysed statistically. The mean SGO-T was 23.6+-4.6R-F units, with a normal range of 14.4 to 32.8 R-F units, while that of the SGP-T was 18.6+-1.4 R-F units, with a normal range of 9.8 to 27.4 R-F units. Although the sex difference in SGO-T shows statistical significance,no significant difference was found between the two sexes in SGP-T. The correlation coefficients show thatthere is no relation of age either to SGO-T activity or SGP-T activity. Both distributions of SGO-T and SGP-T follow a normal distribution.
