title: [Alpha-amylase activity in serum and some organs of guinea pigs with larval ascariasis].
abstract: The studies were carried out on 40 guinea pig males weighting about 230 g. The experimental animals were infected with 7000 invasive eggs of Ascaris suum. On the 3-rd, 7-th and 10-th day after infection the activity of alpha-amylase was estimated according to Caraway's method in serum, liver, pancreas, lungs, kidneys and spleen. The infection of guinea pigs results in increased activity of enzyme in serum and spleen, and decreased in pancreas, liver, kidneys and lungs. On the 3-rd day after infection the changes in amylase activity were the most intense.
