TI  - Changes in peripheral leukocytes enzymes activity and plasma metabolite 
      concentrations in growing Holstein calves.
PG  - 19-23
AB  - Plasma metabolite and immunoreactive insulin concentrations and activities of 
      enzymes related to energy metabolism in peripheral leukocytes were measured in 
      growing Holstein calves. A ratio of girth of abdomen divided by girth of thorax 
      (A/T ratio) of calves was significantly elevated after weaning, and the A/T ratio 
      maybe a good indicator to evaluate rumen development. Plasma glucose and free 
      fatty acid concentrations were changed in calves accompanying change in feeding. 
      Activities of lactate dehydrogenase with pyruvate as substrate (LDH-P) and 
      hexokinase (HK) in cytosolic fractions of peripheral leukocytes decreased 
      significantly after weaning the calves reflecting the change of energy source 
      from milk replacer with high percentages of fat and glucose and lactose as 
      absorbable carbohydrate to pelleted feed containing starch as less absorbable 
      carbohydrate and roughage. Some peripheral leukocyte enzymes such as LDH and HK 
      may be good indicators to evaluate changes in energy metabolism of growing 
      calves.
