METABOLIC CHANGES OF SOME ENZYMES IN THE BODY OF CATTLE AT FASCIOLOSIS

I.D. Shelyakin, I.Y. Ventsova

The mechanism of transamination enzymes, urea, antioxidant protection in blood and liver of cattle afflicted with fascioliasis is studied. It was found that in the liver of infected animals, the most intensive formation of glutamic acid transamination occurs at aspartic acid and asparagine in α-ketoglutarate. Also, these animals have higher blood levels of urea, a higher activity of AST, ALT and catalase and the content of ceruloplasmin and peroxidase activity of SOD decreased.

Keywords: cows, antioxidant system, enzymes, fasciolosis, transamination.
