[Effect of proteolytic enzymes on the antitrypsin activity of blood serum in the postoperative period].

An antitryptic activity and effect of trypsin and chymotrypsin, administered parenterally, on the activity were studied in blood serum of patients, subjected to surgical operations. The antitryptic activity and content of alpha1- and alpha2-globulins were shown to increase in blood serum of patients within 5 days of the postoperative period. Intramuscular administration of the proteolytic enzymes within 5 days decreased the anti-tryptic activity and content of alpha1- and alpha2-globulins in blood serum.
