Enzymes are proteins that possess catalytic properties, convert substrates into
products and are biocatalysts of all biological and metabolic reactions in the
body. Biochemical blood variables, mainly enzymes, are critical health and
disease status parameters, which vary based on a living organism’s conditions
(metabolic and physiologic periods), age, gender, breed and diet as well as seasonal changes and regional and geographical differences. It has been well established that the measurement of serum levels of various enzymes is a worthy
part of diagnosis. Some enzyme levels, which can serve as biochemical parameters, were measured in serum samples obtained from 220 healthy Akkaraman
sheep breed, composed of ewes, rams, and female and male lambs. In the current study, which compared the values of biochemical variables, a significant
difference (p <0.05) between the four groups was observed in the concentrations
of evaluated alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl
transferase and creatine kinase. Differences in the values of aspartate aminotransferase were not found to be statistically significant.
