Abstract
Payzone-feeding has been found to cause a decrease in thyroid activity. In this study the blood of payzone-fed birds was investigated to find if this decrease would be strong enough to cause any changes in the content of GPT, GOT, alkaline phosphate, glucose, cholesterol, BUN, UA, total protein or globulin. No significant changes were found. A slight increase in GOT and UA was observed.
Keywords: payzone, chicken, blood
Sammanfattning
Payzone har visat sig ha en nedsättende effekt pä sköldkörtelfunktionen. I detta arbete undersöktes om denna effekt är kraftig nog att återspeglas i ändrade värden i blodets halt av GPT, GOT, alkalinfosfatas, glukos, kolesterol, ureakväve, urinsyra, totalprotein eller globulin. Inga signifikanta skillnader erhölls. En lätt ökning av GOT och urinsyra förelåg.
