Physiological variation of enzymatic activities in blood of bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana (Shaw, 1802)
The aim of this study was to determine plasma enzymogram reference values in bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana, to correlate them with physiological modifications attributable to sex, age, weight, climate, and breeding and feeding systems. For this purpose, three hundred and two healthy animals (from 9 to...

| Sumario: | The aim of this study was to determine plasma enzymogram reference values in bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana, to correlate them with physiological modifications attributable to sex, age, weight, climate, and breeding and feeding systems. For this purpose, three hundred and two healthy animals (from 9 to 21 months–old, both sexes) were used. Reference intervals for alkaline phosphatase, ALP (157±32 IU/L), alanine aminotransferase, ALT (12.4±2.6 IU/L), aspartate aminotransferase, AST (48.1±9.3 IU/L), gammaglutamyl transferase, GGT (9.2±1.6 IU/L), lactate dehydrogenase, LDH (117±22 IU/L), butyryl cholinesterase, CHE (168±32 IU/L) and creatine phosphokinase, CPK (432±85 IU/L), were obtained. Growth showed a correlation to weight increase (r =0.82, p =0.02). Significant lineal association between the age increment and ALP decrease (9 months = 196 versus 21 months = 102 IU/L), as well as the increases of CHE (126 versus 226 IU/L) and CPK (280 versus 572 IU/L), were registered. ALP and CPK were higher in males than females (p |
