Variations of enzyme plasma levels by experimental thymectomy

Abstract

The relation between organic alterations produced by thymectomy and plasma enzymes is studied. Enzyme LDH increases slightly up to the 28th day and decreases significantly thereafter.

Aldolase decreases except during the last week when it increases over the basal. Alkaline Phosphatase especially on the 14th and 2l8t day. Cholinesterase decreases up to valúes statistically significant. The valúes of ATP remain unchanged during the period of study.
