Recent Biochemical and Hormonal Studies on Ketosis

Hormonal Factors of Diabetic Ketosis.

Biochemical aspects of bovine ketosis.

1. The concentrations of acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and metabolites related to gluconeogenesis were determined in biopsy samples of the livers of ketotic, normal lactating and normal non-lactating cows. Key enzymes of gluconeogenesis in the liver were also assayed. 2. Significant decreases were found in the ketotic liver in the concentrations of glucogenic amino acids (glutamate, glutam...

Hemato-Biochemical Studies on Clinical Cases of Primary Ketosis in Buffaloes

The study was conducted on 145 buffaloes brought to Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, LUVAS from Hisar and adjoining villages, with signs of anorexia and decreased milk yield. Urine samples from buffaloes were screened for ketosis using two tests (Rothera’s test and Keto-Diastix-strip test). The disease was confi rmed in 24 buffaloes as primary ketosis on the basis of clinical signs (select...

Studies in the ketosis of fasting.

A series of experiments was performed during the induction of starvation ketosis and in the acute reversal of the ketotic state. In contrast to the predictions of two widely held theories of ketogenesis, control of acetoacetate production by the liver appeared to be unrelated to changes in fatty acid mobilization from the periphery, fatty acid oxidation, fatty acid synthesis, or the acetyl coen...

Effects of Training Load on Some Hormonal, Hematological and Biochemical Profile of Male Cyclists

Hematological profiles of cyclists fluctuates are based on the volume/frequency/intensity of training. The present study examined the effects of training load on the cyclist’s biochemical profile which may be associated with over training. Twelve male cyclists volunteered to participate in this study. The participants completed a systematic training program which was divided into four phases i....
