Abstract

The effects of sex and age on the serum transaminase activity of 57 healthy Korean cattle (22 females and 35 males) were observed. Serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (SGOT) activity of the female revealed significantly higher value than that of the males. In the females, SGOT activity of 4 and 5 years group was a little decreased than 2 and 3 years, but difference was not recognized. On the other hand, SGOT activity of 4 and 5 years showed high significant increase as compared with that of 2 and 3 years in the males. The effects of sex and age on serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) activity and total protein levels were not found.
