Abstract
To test the hepatic specificity of gamma-glutamyl transferase in the cow, the tissue distribution of this enzyme was studied in 10 healthy adult cows. It was located mainly in kidney, pancreas and liver. The relative hepatic specificity of this enzyme indicated that measurement of its activity in serum could be a valuable test of hepatic damage in the cow. The blood activity measured within 54 plasmas and 54 serum of apparently healthy animals was almost the same, 17.7 .+-. 5.7 U[units]/l for plasma and 18.6 .+-. 6.2 U/l for serum.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
