title: Studies on correlations between chloroquine-induced tissue damage and serum enzyme changes in the rat.
abstract: The administration of chloroquine to rats resulted in a significant elevation of serum enzymes and a corresponding decrease of these enzymes in the tissues. The changes in serum and kidney enzymes were most marked, thus indicating a primary renal dysfunction.
