Transaminases values in Creole goats infected with Trypanosoma vivax

Abstract

The present communication reports the transaminases enzymes values Aspartatoaminotransferase (AST) and Alaninaamino-transferase (ALT) in serum from goats infected with the Trypanosoma vivax Stock (TvIIV). The determinations were realized during a ten week experimental period divided into two equal periods (pre- and post-infection) by colorimetric method, using commercial kits. The dates were analyzed through the t Student's test. In the AST case, the comparison between partial means of infected and control groups did not show any statistical differences. In relation to ALT, the contrast of partial means to pre- and post-infection from infected goats group indicated significant differences (P < 0.01).
