Each pasture was divided into two plots: one was treated with calcium cyanamide and the other was left untreated.
Body weight gains, anti-Fasciola antibody levels, faecal egg counts, levels of sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (gamma GT), packed cell volumes, white blood cells and differential leucocyte counts were determined monthly.

Perfusion of isolated rat livers with ethanol at a concentration of 2 g/l (%o) resulted in a release of glutamate-pyruvate-transaminase (GPT) and sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) into the perfusate as markers of toxicity.
Inhibition of alcohol dehydrogenase by 4-methylpyrazole or of aldehyde dehydrogenase by cyanamide totally abolished ethanol hepatotoxicity despite of a severalfold increase in acetaldehyde concentration in the perfusate.

2886311 Rikans LE: The oxidation of acrolein by rat liver aldehyde dehydrogenases. Drug Metab Dispos. 1987 May-Jun;15(3):356-62.

The metabolism of acrolein by low Km aldehyde dehydrogenase activities was markedly depressed in mitochondrial or cytosolic fractions from rats pretreated with cyanamide (2 mg/kg for 1 hr) or disulfiram (100 mg/kg for 24 hr).
Hepatotoxicity was assessed on the basis of elevated serum alanine aminotransferase and sorbitol dehydrogenase activities and the loss of microsomal cytochrome P-450.
