The enzyme activity and cationic proteins in the blood cells in the modelling of tourniquet shock in rats

: The activity of red cell enzymes and the cationic protein content in the granulocytes were studied in different periods of tourniquet shock. The activity of lactic dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase reduced 3-6 hours after removal of the tourniquet; the activity of glutathione reductase did not change. The value of the lysosomal-cationic test diminished 6 hours after application of the tourniquet and increased 2 hours after its removal. The results of the study allow the lysosomal-cationic test to be recommended for determining the unspecific resistance in shock.
