ACTIVITY OF AMINOLEVULINATE SYNTHASE OF BONE MARROW AND LIVER OF NEWBORN AUGUST AND WISTAR RATS AFTER ACUTE POSTNATAL HYPOXIA
Abstract
Newborn Wistar and August rats (20 rats in each experimental group) were exposed to acute postnatal hypoxic hypoxia (by the mixture of 95% nitrogen and 5% oxygen). Determination of activity of aminolevulinate synthase (ALA-synthase) in bone marrow and liver were in control group, and on the 1st and 3rd days of life (in liver - only on the 3rd day). Infant rats of various lines differed by the response of an organism to hypoxic exposure that confirms its genetic predetermination. Activities of ALA-synthase in bone marrow and liver were reciprocal both in normal development and after hypoxia. K
