Effect of bithionol on b-glucuronidase in serum and rabbits infected with fasciola gigantica

ABSTRACT

B-glucuronidase was the subject of histochemical and biochemical studies. The enzyme activity in the liver homogenate ran in parallel to that of the serum. It was found that bithionol therapy showed an increase in B-glucuronidase activity of both normal and Fasciola gigantica infected rabbits. The increase was more pronounced in the latter. On the other hand, F. gigantica per se, revealed a more or less normal B-glucuronidase activity on 10th week post infection
