Features of protein metabolism in quail's pancreatic glands in postnatal period of ontogenesis and under the influence of nitrate

The content of total protein and HS-groups, the activity of enzymes aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase in quail pancreas in postnatal ontogenesis and for nitrate load were investigated. Ontogenetic patterns of protein metabolism in the pancreas are established and they are associated with physiological characteristics of growth and development of quail. By action of nitrates there were observed decrease of total protein, activity of enzymes aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase, increase of HS-groups number in the quail's pancreas.

Key words: protein metabolism, nitrate load, pancreas, postnatal ontogenesis of quail.
