The activity of glycogen breakdown enzymes in lymphocytes of bursectomized chickens.
Chickens bursectomized at the first 48 hours of life were used for experiments. They were divided into three groups: I group 8-10 weeks old, II group 11-14 weeks old and III group-over 14 weeks old. In the I experimental group the statistically essential increase of hydrolytic activity has been found. The phosphorolytic activity in the lymphocytes increases in the first experimental group and remains on still relatively high level in the second group as compared with the activity of the enzymes under investigations in control group of animals.
