Abstract
Activity of kidney and liver carnosinase and concentration of carnosine in leg muscles were determined for 8 weeks in old geese of three races: Italian White, Bilgoraj and Lublin. Significant differences were noted between the three races with respect to all parameters under study. The following correlations were found: 1. 1. Between live goose weight and carnosine concentration in muscles ( r = 0.5276). 2. 2. Between weight of legs muscles and carnosine level in these muscles ( r = 0.4912). 3. 3. Between liver weight and carnosine level in muscles ( r = 0.3292). 4. 4. Between kidney carnosinase activity and liver carnosinase activity ( r = 0.2104). 5. 5. Between liver carnosinase activity and carnosine level ( r = −0.2280). 6. 6. Between kidney carnosinase activity and carnosine level ( r = −0.1675). 7. 7. Between the ratio of kidney:liver carnosinase activity and carnosine level in muscles ( r = 0.1816).
