According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, European bison (Bison bonasus) is a vulnerable species. susceptible mycobacterial infections, as evidenced by numerous confirmed tuberculosis cases in this Diagnostic methods have developed significantly recent years, but performing several parallel tests (serological, microbiological, molecular, cell-mediated based tests) still m...

The objective was to determine the effect of dietary ratio neutral detergent fibre (aNDFom) starch within diets differing in grass maize silage on rumen function, diet digestion, serum haptoglobin, and production lactating dairy cows. Four isonitrogenous were formulated with a forage concentrate 50:50, proportion containing either high or low (82:18 [GS] 18:82 [MS] dry matter [DM] basis, respec...

This study aimed to discover potential biomarkers for dioxynivalenol (DON) intoxication. B6C3F1 male mice were orally exposed to 0.83, 2.5 and 7.5 mg/kg body weight (bw) DON for 8 days and the differential protein expressions in their blood plasma were determined by SELDI - Time-of-Flight/Mass Spectrometry (TOF/MS) and the immunoglobulins (Igs) G, A, M and E in the serum were investigated. 11.7...

This study assessed the long-term effects of dietary vaccenic acid (VA) and elaidic acid (EA) on plasma and splenocyte phospholipid (PL) composition and related changes in inflammation and splenocyte phenotypes and cytokine responses in obese/insulin resistant JCR:LA-cp rats. Relative to lean control (Ctl), obese Ctl rats had higher serum haptoglobin and impaired T-cell-stimulated cytokine resp...

University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy, Košice, Slovak Republic (Received 1 March 2013) The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum proteins electrophoretic pattern and the concentrations of acute phase proteins in calves with chronic bronchopneumonia. Twenty-eight calves with clinical symptoms of disease were included into the evaluation. Blood serum was analyzed for total protein ...

Data are presented on a group of cases of primary carcinoma of the bladder, detailing red cell surface blood group antigenic phenotypes, serum haptoglobin phenotypes, and some red cell isoenzyme phenotypes. Account is taken of the stage of the disease at presentation. The results are compared with corresponding phenotype frequencies in groups of presumed healthy persons originating either in Yo...

BACKGROUND It has been suggested that haptoglobin polymorphism may influence the pathogenesis of microvascular and macrovascular complications in diabetic patients. OBJECTIVE This cross sectional study was carried out to investigate the existence or not of an association between haptoglobin genotypes and prevalence of ischemic cardiovascular events (stable angina, unstable angina and acute my...

The relation between serum inflammatory protein levels and cognitive performance was investigated in a healthy population. Individuals were tested during 6 years of follow-up. Serum concentrations of 10 inflammatory proteins were correlated to cognitive speed (Letter-Digit Coding Test, LDCT), attention and information processing (Stroop) and memory (Word Learning). Haptoglobin levels at baselin...
