Studies on body types by body growth and blood chemical values in the Jindo dog., 1; Blood chemical values of Jindo dogs.
1989
Kim W.K. | Lee J.H. | Kim J.S.
The present study was conducted in order to get the normal blood chemical values of Korean Jindo dogs. Blood samples were taken from 160 (male 34, female 126) healthy Jindo dogs in Jindo area. The mean values of serum total protein (TP), albumin (Alb) and globulin (Glb) content, cholesterol (Chole), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), inorganic phosphate (P), potassium (K), sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl) concentration in the group of less than one year old were 6.64 (male 6.62, female 6.64), 3.63 (male 3.57, female 3.65) and 3.00 (male 3.05, female 2.99) g/100ml, 170.97 (male 166.46, female 172.68) mg/100ml, 1.45 (male 1.43, female 1.46), 5.76 (male 5.62, female 5.81), 4.80 (male 4.95, female 4.75), 4.84 (male 4.72, female 4.89), 148.93 (male 148.79, female 148.98) and 110.22 (male 110.42, female 110.14) mEq/L, respectively, whereas the TP, Alb and Glb content, Chole Mg, Ca, P, K, Na and Cl concentration in the group of one year old and more were 6.88 (male 6.84, female 6.89), 3.65 (male 3.63, female 3.66) and 3.23 (male 3.21, female 3.23) g/100ml, 167.48 (male 173.80, female 166.48) mg/100ml, 1.40 (male 1.36, female 1.40), 5.69 (male 5.53, female 5.71), 4.62 (male 4.73, female 4.60), 4.88 (male 4.90, female 4.87), 149.86 (male 149.60, female 149.90)and 110.03 (male 110.70, female 109.92) mEq/L, respectively. The ratios of mean serum albumin to globulin (A/G), calcium to inorganic phosphate (Ca/P) and sodium to potassium (Na/K) in the group of less than one year old were 1.21 (male 1.17, female 1.22), 1.20 (male 1.14, female 1.22) and 30.77 (male 31.52, female 30.47), respectively, whereas the A/G, Ca/P and Na/K in the group of one year old and more were 1.13 (male 1.13, female 1.13), 1.23 (male 1.17, female 1.24) and 30.71 (male 30.53, female 30.78), respectively. The mean values of Alb content, Mg, Ca and K concentration, A/G and Ca/P ratio appeared to be higher in the female than in the male, whereas the reverse was the case with P concentration. No differences were found between male and female in the TP and Glb content, Chole, Na and Cl concentration and Na/K ratio.
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Serum biochemical indicators of liver function in neonatal foals
1989
Bauer, J.E. | Asquith, R.L. | Kivipelto, J.
Serum biochemical indicators of liver function were determined in healthy, age-matched foals during the first 270 days of life. Values were compared with those of healthy adult horses and with those determined on the day of birth (< 12 hours old). Serum alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, and L-iditol dehydrogenase activities were increased during the first 2 weeks of life. Serum cholesterol, triglyceride, and total and unconjugated bilirubin concentrations peaked during this same period. During the early neonatal period (<12 hours old), globulin concentrations (mainly beta 2 and gamma fractions) were low and albumin/globulin ratios were high. However, individual values for all analytes were varied.
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Treatment of Brucella melitensis infection in mice by use of liposome-encapsulated gentamicin
1989
Hernandez-Caselles, T. | Vera, A. | Crespo, F. | Villalain, J. | Gomez-Fernandez, J.C.
Liposomes with entrapped gentamicin were used to treat mice with infection attributable to Brucella melitensis. Liposomes bearing positive charge and formed by egg yolk lecithin, cholesterol, and stearylamine were effective in the elimination of B melitensis residing in liver and spleen. Negatively charged liposomes, formed by egg yolk lecithin, cholesterol, and dicetyl phosphate were also effective in suppression of the infection in liver, but were less so in suppression of the infection in the spleen. Free gentamicin was less effective than the encapsulated antibiotic. At 20 hours after administration of gentamicin encapsulated in liposomes, the gentamicin concentrations in liver and spleen were similar, regardless of the charge of the liposomes--neutral, positive, or negative. However, positively charged liposomes were more efficient than were other liposome types for the treatment of brucellosis caused by B melitensis.
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Variations of serum vitamin E, cholesterol, and total serum lipid concentrations in horses during a 72-hour period
1989
Craig, A.M. | Blythe, L.L. | Lassen, E.D. | Rowe, K.E. | Barrington, R. | Slizeski, M.
Fluctuations of serum vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), cholesterol, and total lipids were monitored in 12 horses at 3-hour intervals for 72 hours. Mean coefficients of variation were 12, 5, and 15%, respectively. Statistical analyses were used to conclude that instrumentation error was accountable for only a small portion of the vitamin E variation. Results indicated that a single serum sample assay is an unsatisfactory indicator of vitamin E status in horses. These data have clinical application in the evaluation of horses suspected to be affected with equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy. The large variance of serum total lipids and the lack of correlation of it with serum vitamin E over time preclude the use of vitamin E/serum total lipids ratio in assessing vitamin E status.
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Studies on the hematological and blood chemical findings for dry and lactating periods
1989
Kang, C.B. (Kyongsang National Univ., Chinju (Korea R.). Coll. of Veterinary Medicine) | Lee, K.C. | Lee, S.S. | Cho, H.T. | Ahn, D.W. (Kyongnam Animal Health Laboratory (Korea R.))
This experiment was carried out to investigate the hematogical and blood chemical values in dairy cattle during the dry and lactating period. Blood was collected from six healthy dairy cattle in Kyongnam province. Leucocytes count, hemoglobin concentrations and the percentage of packed cell volume were lowest at the early lactation period. Leucocytes count was not affected during dry to lactating period. The differential count of eosinophilic leucocytes was low at the late lactation period, while the basophilic leucocytes was high at the dry period. Inorganic phosphorus value was below under normal leve. Creatinine value was from 1 to 2mg/100ml of serum. Positive reaction to CRP was shown in normal dairy cattle. The values of AST and ALT were higher during the dry than lactating period. r-GTP and total cholesterol tend to be decreased during the lactating period. CPK value was not affected for dry and lactating period
