  • Title: [Biochemical and immunological changes in guinea pigs with experimentally reproduced amyotrophic leukospongiosis].
    Author: Votiakov VI, Kolomiets ND, Luchko VP, Kolomiets AG.
    Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1987 Mar; 103(3):292-4. PubMed ID: 3828505.
    Abstract:
    Biochemical blood serum tests at different stages of amyotrophic leukospongiosis have shown differences in lactate and pyruvate levels as well as in lactate dehydrogenase activity, indicative of the increased oxidative exchange in sick guinea-pigs. It is suggested that intensified glycolysis is a compensatory-adaptive reaction in response to hypoxia due to respiratory disorders (spinal type) and degeneration and death of motoneurons. Leukospongiosis was accompanied by the decline in the complement level in the blood serum and production of antibodies to nervous fiber proteins.
