Serum and plasma cholinesterase in normal animals were determined concurrently to see whether both values can be used interchangeably. Plasma, with EDTA as an anticoagulant and serum of horses, donkeys, mules, cattle, buffaloes and sheep were collected and cholinesterase activity was determined by colorimetric method. Results showed that plasma cholinesterase activity in all species except cattle was significantly lower than the activity in serum. Since organophosphorus compounds have cholinesterase inhibition property, the use of inhibited plasma cholinesterase as an indicator for organophosphorus poison is questionable and the use of serum cholinesterase activity is recommended.(วิเคราะห์การทำงานของเอนไซม์โซลีนเอสเทอเรสในพลาสม่าและซีรั่มของสัตว์ปกติเปรียบเทียบในสัตว์ตัวเดียวกันเพื่อศึกษาว่าค่าทั้งสองนี้สามารถใช้แทนกันได้หรือไม่ ทำการเจาะเลือดจากสัตว์ 6 ชนิด ได้แก่ ม้า ลา …

Sera of 19 male and female bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) collected near Barrow, Alaska (USA) between 30 August and 13 October 1992 were evaluated for 18 serum chemistry values. Male bowhead whales had significantly greater creatinine and sodium concentrations, and significantly lower glucose concentrations than females. Pregnant females had greater triglyceride levels than non-pregnant females. The mean concentrations of creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, total protein, sodium, potassium, chloride, phosphorus, and calcium were similar to those previously reported from bowhead whales. High aspartate aminotransferase and creatine kinase levels were attributed to muscle damage associated with harpooning.
