Sažetak
An attempt was made to determine the effect of irradiation of eggs upon aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity in the blood plasma of chickens hatched from irradiated eggs. The eggs of havy breeding chickens were irradiated by dose 0, 15 Gy gamma radiation (Co-60)before incubation. Along with the chickens which were hatched from irradiated eggs, there was a control group of chickens hatched from non-irradiated eggs. All other conditions were the same for both groups. After hatching, blood samples were taken from the ving vein on days 1, 3, 7, 10, 20, 30 and 42. Activity of both enzymes was determined spectrophotometrically by using Boehringer Mannheim GmbH optimized kit. The AST activity was significantly increased in the blood plasma of chickens hatched from irradiated eggs on days 3 and 10, and Alt activity was increased in the same chickens only on day 10. Obtained results inicate that low-dose of gamma radiation have stimulating effects upon some metabolic processes in the chickens hatched from eggs irradiated before incubation.
