LACTIC DEHYDROGENASE AND TRANSAMINASES IN BOVINE EPIDIDYMAL FLUID

The activity of the enzyme lactic dehydrogenase (LD) in bovine blood serum (Roussel & Stallcup, 1965a) and in semen (Roussel & Stallcup, 1965c), and of glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase (GOT) and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT) in bovine blood serum (Roussel & Stallcup, 1965b) and semen have been previously reported and the literature reviewed (Flipse, 1960; Gregoire, Rakoff & Ward, 1961; Roussel & Stallcup, 1965d). The activity of the transaminases in the epididymal fluid of the ram has been reported by Alumot & Schindler (1965). The experiments reported here were undertaken to measure the activities of LD, GOT and GPT in bovine epididymal fluids compared to their activity in blood serum.

Eight Aberdeen-Angus bulls, 14 months of age, were used in these studies. All animals were from the herds of the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, and a
