Summary Hearts of 17-day-old chick embryos were assayed for alterations in lactic dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase activity following exposure to 425 ppm carbon monoxide during the previous 24 to 168 hours of incubation. The level of the heme-containing enzyme, cytochrome oxidase, was significantly less in the exposed than in the control embryos, and biologic effects of exposure and interaction were noted. There was no sigificant difference between the level of the nonheme-containing enzyme lactic dehydrogenase in the control and exposed group. Hypertrophy of the heart was noted in embryos exposed to CO for 144 and 168 hours.
