Transaminase Activities in Periodontal Tissues in the Guinea Pig

EDUARDO H. CHARREAU 1, JORGE A. KOFOED 1, and ALBERTO B. HOUSSAY 1

A comparative study of the glutamic-oxaloacetic and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase activities among gingiva, periosteum, and periodontium of incisor teeth and liver, adrenals, kidney, pituitary, and testes was made in male guinea pigs. The transaminase activities of the periodontal tissues were much higher than in the other tissues studied. It is postulated that this might be due to a substrate need for the activated tricarboxylic cycle and possibly to the continuous growth of the guinea pigs' incisors.
