Genetic Dominant Serum Alkaline Phosphatase Activity in Goats

Arvelig dominant alkalisk fosfatase aktivitet i serum hos geit

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 11, pages 181–185 (1970)Cite this article

Abstract

Serum alkaline phosphatase activity was determined in 290 Norwegian goats, from 8 months to 10 years of age. The investigations revealed a wide range of individual enzyme activities which constituted two distinct peaks with mean values of 2.37 ± 1.42 and 37.73 ± 14.78 “Sigma” units per ml respectively. Forty-one of the 290 goats were examined by 15 successive samplings for 18 months without obtaining lapping-over values between the two groups. The segregation of the high enzyme level indicated a genetic dominant inheritance.

Sammendrag

Alkalisk fosfatase aktivitet i serum ble bestemt hos 290 norske geiter i alderen fra 8 måneder til 10 år. Undersøkelsene avslørte en stor spredning av individuell enzymaktivitet. Det var to tydelige topper konsentrert i områdene omkring middelverdiene 2,37 og 37,73 “Sigma” enheter, med standardavvik på henholdsvis 1,42 og 14,78 enheter. Hos 41 av geitene ble det foretatt 15 enzymbestemmelser fordelt over et tidsrom på 18 måneder. Undersøkelsene tyder bestemt på at høg alkalisk fosfatase aktivitet i serum hos geit nedarves med enkel dominans.
