چکیده
On studying the enzymatic pro®le of serum muscle speci®c enzymes (ALT, AST, LDH and CPK) in two sheep ̄ocks one free while the other was endemic with stiff lamb disease it was found that: (1) Serum muscle speci®c enzymes levels were signi®cantly increased in lambs of the endemic ̄ock when compared with those from the non-endemic one. (2) Vitamin E and selenium administration was followed by signi®cant decrease in enzymes levels in subclinically affected lambs of the endemic ̄ock, while no changes occurred in lambs of the control, non-endemic ̄ock one-week after administration. (3) Lambs in the endemic ̄ock were born with relatively high serum enzyme levels, which began to increase signi®cantly and gradually from the second week of life and up, reaching maximum levels at the fourth week of age. At this age, most of the lambs began to show typical symptoms of the disease. (4) Clinical improvement accompanied with pronounced drop in levels of these enzymes occurred after treatment with vitamin E and selenium preparation in clinically affected lambs. # 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
