Tóm tắt

The effect of the development of female pike Esox lucius gonads on the quantitative parameters of lysozyme, a component of nonspecific resistance, and the size of some organs of the immune system was studied from September to April. It was established that there is a significant decrease in the concentration of lysozyme in the serum and spleen during the period of female maturation and gonad development. At this time, the size of the liver increases, and the spleen decreases, while the kidney index remains unchanged. The concentration of lysozyme in the liver and serum is inversely correlated with the increase in the gonads, but the dependence on the gonad size is weak. The growth of gonads and a significant increase in the size of the liver does not affect the lysozymic index of the liver, which reflects the total content of the enzyme in this organ. It was found that the decrease in the concentration of the enzyme in the liver is proportional to the increase in the size of the organ. The lysozyme concentration in the serum showed a direct relationship to the water temperature of the reservoir, but such a relationship was not manifested in the organs. The quantitative parameters of the enzyme in the spleen and the relative size of the organ during the study period turned out to be more related to the water temperature than to the gonadosomatic index. The process of gonad maturation in females combined with the external influence of temperature has both a direct and indirect effect on the concentration of lysozyme in the tissues. The concentration of tissue lysozyme as an indicator with a fixed dimension can be determined not only by the state of immunity but also by changes in the size of organs.
