The intensity of changes in the activity of enzymes in the tissues of the colon in piglets in different phases of postnatal ontogenesis

Abstract

Annotation. The purpose is сlarification of patterns of age-related changes in the activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AsAT), alanine aminotransferase (AlAT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), α-amylase, alkaline phosphatase (AlP) and acid phosphatase (AP ) in tissues of different parts of the cecum in piglets of large white breed, in different phases of nutrition of the early postnatal period of systemic genesis of pig. Methods. Enzyme activities were determined spectrophotometrically (UV-1800) and using a set of reagents from the OJSC Vital Development Corporation, St. Petersburg. The activity of the enzymes AsAT and AlAT was determined by the method of Wrightman and Frenkel, GGT – by the unified colorimetric method at the “end point”. The α-amylase activity was measured by the method of Karavei. The level of AP, AlP was determined by the Bessey – Lowry – Brock method. Results. The degree of structural and chemical changes in the tissues of the cecum in piglets is high in the early phases of the postnatal period, during the first four months of life. They are especially pronounced in transitional phases of nutrition. The most intense age-related changes in metabolic processes in the tissues of the cecum in piglets were revealed between the milk and colostrum and first milk, between the first and second milk, between the third milk and milk-definitive, as well as between the first and second definitive phases. The timing of stabilization of the activity of individual enzymes in the tissues of the cecum is determined. They are detected in piglets in the later phases of feeding. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the nature and intensity of age-related changes in the activity of aspartate and alanine aminotransferases, gamma-glutamyl transferase, α-amylase, acidic and alkaline phosphatases in tissues of different parts of the cecum in growing piglets were revealed.

Changes in Activity of Gamma-Glutamyltransferase in Liver Tissues of Rabbits at Different Phases of Postnatal Ontogenesis

“…Ферменты как биологические катализаторы играют значительную роль в жизнедеятельности живых организмов. Обмен веществ ворганизме у животных в течение постнатального онтогенеза в значительной степени зависит от активности в них ферментативных систем [1,2].Проведенные нами исследования [3][4][5][6][7] показали, что закономерности возрастных изменений таких систем, включающихся в разнообразные функциональные системы и обеспечивающих структурно-химическое формирование тканей органов в каждой фазе системогенеза органов пищеварения у животных имеют свои видовые особенности.…”
