SELECTED BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS STUDIED IN WARM-BLOODED MARES

Abstract

The aim of this work was to study the quantitative presence of biochemical parameters in the blood serum of warm-blooded breeds of horses. From the selected biochemical parameters the presence of AST-aspartate aminotransferase, ALT-alanine aminotransferase and LDH-lactate dehydrogenase were monitored in blood serum of warm-blooded mares. The measured minimum and maximum values of AST in the blood serum of warm-blooded mares ranged from 1.95 to 3.51 μkat.l-1, the average value of AST was x = 2.77 µkat.l-1. The measured minimum and maximum values of ALT activity ranged from 0.27 to 0.45 μkat.l-l and the average value of ALT activity was x = 0.36 μkat.l-l. The minimum and maximum values of LDH activity in blood serum of warm-blooded mares ranged from 1.36 to 6.45 μkat.l-l and the average value of LDH activity was x = 3.52 μkat.l-l.
