[Transferase contents in lymph and blood in fever reaction].

The aim of the present investigation was the study of the content of alanine, asparagine-transaminases, gamma-glutamyl transferase and their isoenzymes, as well as leucine aminotransferase in the lymph of thoracic duct, hepatic and intestinal lymph and peripheral blood in dynamics of fever reaction of various duration in the experiments on rabbits. Irrespective of its duration, the fever was followed by a significant activation of the enzymes in the body fluids. However, in many-day fever reaction, a rise of enzymes level in the lymph was more prolonged than that in the blood. The above studies make it possible to assume that the released enzymes in fever reaction are primarily resorbed by lymphatic capillaries and their activity indices in the blood serum are largely evidenced by the transport function of the lymphatic system.
