| Popis: | 1. 1. The sensitivity of serum enzyme levels as indicators of tissue damage is less well established in the prodromal period of heatstroke, especially for sub-lethal stress conditions. 2. 2. Anaesthetized rats were exposed to two different sets of thermal conditions. 3. 3. Plasma levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LD) were assayed in each group upon termination of stress, 6 h post-stress and 24 h post-stress. 4. 4. The tissue “damage” sustained was mild to moderate and completely reversible. 5. 5. The rate of rise in body temperature may constitute an important factor in the ultimate pathology. 6. 6. CK proved to be the most sensitive parameter of tissue “damage”. |
