[Effect of daily blood sampling on creatine phosphokinase, SGOT, and SGPT activity in the serum of monkeys]. / Vliianie ezhednevnogo vziatiia krovi na aktivnost' kreatinfosfokiazy, AST i ALT v syvorotke krovi obez'ian.

Activities of aspartate aminotransferase and creatine phosphokinase were distinctly altered within the first 6-7 days of daily blood-sampling in 4 Macaca rhesus. As the subsequent adaptation to the procedure conditions developed and the defensive excitement was decreased the following enzymatic activities were found: aspartate aminotransferase -14.04 +/- 0.58 UN/ml, alanine aminotransferase -19.45 +/- 0.79 UN/ml, creatine phosphokinase -1.88 +/- 0.14 UN/ml.

An increase in creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activity as well as a decrease in activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were observed in monkey blood serum under conditions of experimental infection of the animals with dysentery. Contrary to the non-immunized animals, the activity of CPK was increased but the activities of AAT and ALT were unaltered in blood serum of the immunized monkeys. Estimation of the enzymatic activity might be used for diagnosis of experimental dysentery and streptococcal infection.
