Serum ADA activity: ADA activity is reported as nmol ammonia/ h·ml serum. (a) Both ADA1 (Inline graphic) and ADA2 (Inline graphic) were measurable in serum of rats, with ADA1 representing the predominant proportion of total ADA activity in nonseptic rats. In rats with peritonitis, serum ADA1 and ADA2 activity levels were comparable. (b) The proportion of total ADA activity represented by ADA2 activity in the serum is represented. ADA2 became the predominant isozyme in serum collected from septic rats as compared to nonseptic rats. *Significantly different relative to nonseptic naive values. P < 0·05. n = 9 and 12 for nonseptic and septic groups, respectively.
