Abstract

Creatine phosphokinase activity was measured in the plasma of normal adult and young cattle, in heifers and their calves during the period after parturition, in cattle after liver or muscle biopsy and in calves after an intramuscular injection of Terramycin. The same enzyme was measured in cattle with experimentally produced myodegeneration. The half-life of creatine phosphokinase in the plasma of cattle was compared with that of aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase. The value of this enzyme as an indicator of muscle disease is discussed.
