Summary. lnterspecific hybrid ducks, obtained by crossing domestic with Muscovy, are crammed and compared to controls. Cramming causes significant differences in the blood serum GOT, GPT, cholesterol and amylase levels. Significant differences in the major parameters are also found between large-liver and small-liver animals and with high weight gain or low gain.The following correlations are : liver size and GOT, r = + 0.583 ; liver size and GPT, r = + 0.490 ; liver size and cholesterol, r = + 0.324. The correlation between relative gain during force feeding and GOT level is r = + 0.483 ; between that gain and GPT it is r = + 0.421.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
