| Abstract | ||
| Enzymes are very impoftant components in the biological system. c-Amylase isone of,these enzymes, it is one of the hydrolytic enzymes that breaks down the dietarystarch and glycogen to glucose and maltose. The present study is conducted toevaluate o-Amylase activity in serum and saliva of patients with jaundice incomparison it with the enzyme activity in the serum and saliva of healthy individuals.That is, to provide fuilher information about the relationship between j aurdice and a-Amylase activity. Estimation of o.-Amylase activity in serum and saliva was made byAmyloclastic (iodometric) method.A 120 samples of serum and saliva were collected; 50 samples represented thecontrol group whose ages range between (20-55) years and 70 samples were thepatient with jaundice group whose ages range between (15-55) years. Alpha-amylaseactivity appeared significantly higher in normal individuals (both in serum and salivain comparison with patients with jaundice. | ||
