## Abstract The activities of pyruvateβkinase (PK) and creatineβkinase (CK) were measured in 50 normal pregnant women in both serum and amniotic fluid. Serum PK activity was found to be significantly higher in pregnant than in nonpregnant women, while serum CK did not differ significantly between t

The serum activity of creatine kinase (CK) and pyruvate kinase (PK) was measured in 98 pairs of same-sex Brazilian twins. The purpose of this study was to estimate the genetic and environmental components of serum activity levels for both enzymes. Heritabilities were estimated separately by path ana
Carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII) and creatine kinase (CK) were measured in plasma samples from a series of females at-risk as carriers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and compared with control groups. Both plasma CAIII and CK levels were raised in a proportion of carriers. Although measurement of CAIII
