title: Effect of voluntary exercise and dietary protein levels on the activity of serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase and the morphological picture of liver in mice.
abstract: In the present investigation, effects of voluntary exercise on serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) activity and histological alterations of liver tissue of mice fed 4%, 6% and 20% casein diet were examined. AGPT activity showed decreasing values accompanied by dietary protein level increases. In 4% casein diet groups, SGPT activity of the exercise group was markedly lower than that of the non-exercise group. Furthermore, there was a negative correlation between SGPT and LCAT activity. In histological evaluation, the non-exercise group on 4% casein diet revealed diffuse fatty degeneration of the liver, but the exercise group did not show such changes.
