Abstract

Serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities increased significantly in rats restrained (RS) for 1 hour and exposed to force swimming exercise (FS) for 15min after an interval of 4 h thereby indicating tissue damage due to stress. The results further reveal that after initial stress exposure rats do respond to a second stressor either with increased intensity (SGPT activity) or at the level similar to first exposure (LDH & SGOT activity).
