title: [Initial investigations on the activity of some enzymes from the vitreous and lens of rabbit eyes exposed to cadmium and zinc].
abstract: The toxicological activity of zinc and cadmium is also connected with the negative influence of both compounds on the visual system. The activity of AspAT and AlAT was determined in 68 vitreous bodies and 68 lenses of rabbits exposed to the influence of zinc and cadmium compounds. Under the influence of these compounds the activity of AlAT was higher in the vitreous as well after using the cadmium or the zinc salts. The activity of AspAT did not change in the lens and in the vitreous one could observe a distinctly increased tendency of the activity of this enzyme only after application of the zinc salt.
