Table 2. Enzyme activities in the liver and muscle tissues at 6 and 24 h after repeated blast exposures.

Tissue Enzyme Sham 6 h post-blast 24 h post-blast
Liver AST (Units/mg protein) 4.70±1.29 1.28±0.70* 2.68±0.97*
Liver ALT (Units/mg protein) 7.41±3.27 0.89±0.65* 3.47±1.02*
Liver LDH (Units/mg protein) 38.01±18.62 0.56±0.43* 12.59±3.87*
Muscle CK (Units/µg protein) 101.03±16.62 50.55±18.99* 71.48±12.57*

Mean ± SEM values at each time points are compared to those of sham. AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; CK, creatine kinase. Statistical analysis was carried out by ANOVA test (n = 7).
