Effect of Prolonged Heat Exposure on Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic and Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase Activities of Rats

連續的 溫熱曝露가 흰쥐의 血淸 Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase 및 Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase의 活性에 미치는 影響

Sera from male Spague-Dawley rats, exposed to $30\\pm 0.5^\\circ C$ for 240 hours or $33\\pm 0.5^\\circ C$ for 64 hours, were assayed for the activities of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase(SGOT) and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase(SGPT) at various time during the heat exposure. 1. When compared to control animals maintained at $23\\pm 1^\\circ C$, the animals exposed to $30\\pm 0.5^\\circ C$ ro $33\\pm 0.5^\\circ C$ showed a significant increase in SGOT and SGPT activities, 2. The SGOT activity incressed at 16 and 72 hours after the exposure to $30^\\circ C$, and at 30 and 64 hours after the exposure to $33^\\circ C$. After 72 hours, the activity returned to the initial value in case of $30^\\circ C$ exposure. 3. The SGPT activity increased significantly as early as 4 hours after the exposure to $30^\\circ C$ or $33^\\circ C$. It was also high at 16 hours after the exposure. The activity was also high at 72 hours and at 64 hours after the exposure to $30^\\circ C$ and $33^\\circ C$ respectively. After 144 hours, SGPT level increased slightly in the case of $30^\\circ C$ exposure. 4. The activities of SGOT and SGPT were significantly higher in rats exposed to $33^\\circ C$ at 16, 30, and 64 hours than those exposed to $30^\\circ C$. 5. It may be inferred from above data that the prolonged heat exposed rat has the abnormal metabolism of transamination.

成熟한 Sprague-Dawley 系의 雄性흰쥐를 $30\\pm 0.5^\\circ C$에서 240時間 그리고 $33\\pm 0.5^\\circ C$에서 64時間 各各 溫熱曝露시켰으며, 溫熱曝露 期間中 여러 時間區에서 血淸 glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT)와 血淸 glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT)의 活性을 Reitman 및 Frankel (1957)의 方法에 依해서 Coleman-Model 295E Spectrophotometer로서 各各 550m$\\mu$에서 測定하였다. $23\\pm 1^\\circ C$인 對照群에 比較하여 보면, $30\\pm 0.5^\\circ C$ 및 $33\\pm 0.5^\\circ C$에서 溫熱曝露된 흰쥐는 各各 血淸의 GOT 및 GPT의 活性이 有意性있게 上昇되었다. 서로 다른 高溫의 溫熱에 曝露된 흰쥐의 血淸 GOT 活性은 16 및 30時間 區間中에서 또한 64 및 72時間 區間中에서 各各 有意性있게 上昇되었다. 한편 $30\\pm 0.5^\\circ C$에서 72時間後에는 血淸 GOT 活性은 正常群으로 되돌아가는 傾向이 나타났다. 서로 다른 高熱의 溫熱로 曝露된 흰쥐의 血淸GPTdml 活性은 初期인 4時間區에서 有意性있게 上昇되었으며, 이어서 16時間區와 64 및 72時間 區間中에서 各各 上昇되었다. 한편 $30\\pm 0.5^\\circ C$에서는 114時間後에 약간 增加하는 傾向이 나타났다. $30\\pm 0.5^\\circ C$와 $33\\pm 0.5^\\circ C$에서 各各 溫熱曝露된 흰쥐의 酵素活性을 比較하여 보면, $33\\pm 0.5^\\circ C$에 曝露된 흰쥐의 血淸 GOT 및 血淸 GPT의 活性은 各各 16, 30 및 64時間區에서 有意性있게 높은 活性을 나타내었다. 이러한 結果로 미루어 보아 連續的 溫熱曝露는 非正常의 아미노基 轉移代謝를 招來하는 것으로 思料된다.
