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.

In order to evaluate the protective effects of extracts of Mori cortex radicis on carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, lactic dehydrogenase, malondiadehyde values and glutathione S-transferase activity were measured in ICR mice. The activities of serum aminotransferase and the hepatic content of lipid peroxide after carbon tetrachloride-treatment were markedly increased than normal control but those levels were significantly decreased by the treatment of butanol fraction of Mori cortex radicis mathanol extract. Glutathione S-transferase activity was decreased by carbon tetrachloride than control, but that also inhibited by the treatment of butanol fraction of Mori cortex radicis methanol extract. These results demonstrate a possible hepatoprotective role of extract role of extract of Mori cortex radicis against ${CCl_4}-induced$ hepatoxicity in vivo.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of Mori Folium and Crataegus pinnatifida leave extracts on liver damage induced by CC1$_4$ in rats. 30％ and 60％ methanol extracts of Mori Folium and Crataegus pinnatifida leaves were administered orally at the dose of 10 mg/kg on every day for 6 days and liver damage was induced by intraperitoneal injection of $CCl_4$ (0.4 ml/kg) on 6th day. 30％ Methanol extracts of Mori Folium treated group showed significant protective effect on hepatotoxicity with the lowest Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (GOT) and Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (GPT). The low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels of 30％ methanol extracts of Mori Folium and Crataegus pinnatifida leave and 60％ methanol extracts of Mori Folium treated groups were significantly lower than normal group, respectively. In particular, LDL level of 30％ Mori Folium extracts treated group was significantly decreased compared to $CCl_4$ treated group. These results support that Mori Folium and Crataegus pinnatifida leave extracts are hepatoprotective effects against hepatotoxicity induced by $CCl_4$.

Effects of forced physical exercise on the CCl4 hepatotoxicity were examined in adult female rats. Rats were treated with CCl4 (2 mmol/kg, ip) and introduced into a cylindrical cage rotating at 9 rpm for 20 min/hr for 6 hr. Eighteen hr following the termination of exercise serum sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) activities and glucose-6-phosphatase activity were determined as parameters for hepatotoxicity. Physical exercise inhibited the $CCI_{4-}$induced increases in SDH, GOT, GPT activity, and glucose-6-phosphatase activity were determined as parameters for hepatotoxicity.

The optimum conditions of the production of exo-polymer by Ganoderma lucidum WK-003 and it's hepatoprotective effect was studied. Optimum conditions for the production of exo-polymer (3.18 g/$\ell$) by using shaken flask culture of G. lucidum WK-003 were pH 4.5, 30$^{\circ}C$, 120 rpm for 18 days cultivation. Also exo-polymer productio (7.15 g/$\ell$) was optimized by 5$\ell$ jar fermenter cultivation with condition of pH 4.5, 30$^{\circ}C$, 200 rpm, 1.0 vvm for 6 days cultivation. Glutamic pyruvic transaminase(GPT) activities in serum of intoxicated Sprague-Dawley rat were decreased from 704 IU/L to 330 IU/L by oral administration of the exo-polymer (20mg/kg$.$day)f or 4 consecutive days.

The effects of dichloromethane (DCM) on carbon tetrachloride (CT) toxicity were examined in adult male rats. A concomitant treatment of rats with DCM (0.3, 0.6, 1.2 g/kg, po) significantly potentiated the hepatotoxicity of CT (1.0 g/kg, po) as determined by increase in serum GPT (glutamic pyruvic transaminase), GOT (glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase), and SDH (sorbitol dehydrogenase) activity 24 hr following the treatments. Serum LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) activity was increased by either DCM or CT treatment.

Effect of Quartz porphyry (QP) on clinical chmical parameters in male common finch by feeding the basal diet (Control group) containing 3.0% QP (QP group) for 14 days was studied. Body weight gain, feed intake, feed efficiency, the relative weight (mg/10 g body wight) of liver and heart were not significantly different in the both groups. However, the relative weights of kidney and gizzard in the QP group were higher and lower than in the control group, respectively. The contents of triglyceride, cholesterol, total protein, glucose and albumin, and the activity of glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) in serum were not significantly different in the both groups. The activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) in serum were lower and higher in the QP group than in the control group.

The present investigation involves a comparative study of enzymatic activities in various animals. The levels of the liver protein of rat (22.0$\pm$0.01mg/ml and pigeon (22.0$\pm$ 0.16) are twice as high as that of crucian carp (13.0$\pm$ 0.09)(p < 0.01). Generally, the specific acitivity (3.77 $\pm$0.18 unit/mg) of rat glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) is highest, pigeon intermediate (1.93 $\pm$0.01), and crucian carp lowest (0.71$\pm$0.07). On the other hand, the specific activity (8.23$\pm$0.09 unit/mg)of rat glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) is highest, pigeon intermediate (3.95$\pm$0.09), and crucian carp lowest (0.92$\pm$0.01) (p < 0.01). Ratios of GOT activity to GPT activity appear no remarkable difference from the levels of various animals. Specific activity of glutamic dehydrogenase(GDH) in pigeon tissue exceeds those of rat and crucian carp. In liver, rat GOT specific activity is greater than crucian carp and pigeon. On the other hand, pigeon GDH specific activity is greater than those of rat and crucian carp. This wouls seem to be in accord with protein metabolic intensity. The patterns for GDH isozyme were remarkably appeared in various animals. Glutamic dehydrogenase isozymes gave different electrophoretic mobilities in various animals. It is interesting that crucian carp, pigeon, and rat would show this difference, which may be indicative of an evolutional pattern. The fact that livers in various animals show quite different enzyme activities would suggest the existence of such a general phylogenetic relationship.
