Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentrations were measured in 73 budgerigars. In spite of increases in the serum concentration of AST and ALT the loss of enzyme activity from the injection site occurred at about the same rate for all four enzymes tested. The rate constants, calculated in birds administered muscle extract via the intravenous or the intramuscular route of injection, disclosed that in subjects treated intramuscularly the serum enzyme elevation was dependent on the elimination half-life of the enzyme and partly on the rate at which the particular enzyme was absorbed into the bloodstream. Moreover, serum enzyme elevations correlated inversely with total clearance. To determine the aetiology of blood enzyme elevation in budgerigars, for diagnostic purposes, the absorption rate, total clearance and elimination half-life of each of these four enzymes are deemed valuable components.
