title: Changes in biochemical parameters associated with experimental arthritis in rabbits.
abstract: Peripheral venous blood samples were drawn before and after induction of adjuvant arthritis in rabbits at intervals of 15 days. Using these samples, biochemical parameters were measured, including total protein, albumin, globulin, cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and glutamic pyruvic transaminase. The various biochemical tests exhibited an abnormal pattern in adjuvant animals as compared to the normal rabbits. The significance of these findings has been discussed.
