[Changes in blood bilirubin and plasma activity of gamma-glutamyl transferase in lambs experimentally infested with Fasciola hepatica].
F hepatica infection of lambs (single dose of 150 metacercariae) increased the plasma gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity and the total serum bilirubin concentration. Thus it might present a risk of inducing yellow fat. It had no effect on the plasma carotenoid level.
