Ligation of the cardiac end of the stomach or of the esophagus in ten dogs produced a severe toxemia, and rapid death. In seven of the animals there occurred a marked rise in the total non-protein nitrogen and urea nitrogen of the blood. The dogs living longest with cardiac obstruction showed a fall in blood chlorides and a rise in the CO(2)-combining power of the plasma. All the dogs with an o...

Although the mammalian urinary tract is generally held to be solely a transit and storage vehicle for urine made by the kidney, in vivo data suggest reabsorption of urea and other urine constituents across urinary tract epithelia. To determine whether urinary tract tissue concentrations are increased as a result of such reabsorption, we measured urea nitrogen and creatinine concentrations and d...

Seventy six high and low producer cows were selected to determine the composition of the blood and milk parameters, and their interrelationships to determine the indices which could be useful to improve the milk yield. The highest mean blood concentrations were found in high producer cows. Mean values for blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum protein (SPtn), creatinine, triglycerides (TGs), choleste...

The aim of this study was to examine the effect repetitive running on middle distance athletes’ muscle damage. There were 24 female middle-distance athletes who have attended training regularly voluntarily participated in study. Participants randomly divided two groups which experimental (n=12) and control groups. Experimental group participants’ mean age, height weight (20.90±1.05 year, 160.67...

Urea rebound refers to an early postdialysis phenomenon in which urea returns to the systemic circulation, raising the blood level to a near plateau over a period of 0.5 to 1 hour [1]. The urea involved is believed to have come from either the intracellular compartment by means of diffusion resulting from the dialysis-induced concentration gradient [2,3], or tissues poorly perfused as a result ...

The effect of combined feed supplements (prilled fat, sweetener and toxin binder) was studied on 24 apparently healthy early lactating rural and urban maintained Murrah buffaloes. The feeding of combined feed supplement was carried out for a period of 90 days. DMI, BCS, body weight were recorded at fortnightly intervals and milk composition was analyzed at weekly intervals. Blood samples were a...

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is commonly associated with thyroid dysfunction. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in subjects with type 2 diabetes and the effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus on other bio-chemical variables. In the present study 80 type 2 diabetic subjects and 80 healthy non diabetic subjects were investigated for total triidothyronine (T3...

The objective of this study was to determine the comparative changes in the monthly blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentration, total protein (TP) concentration in blood serum and the body condition score of Nguni cows and heifers raised on sweetveld. Twenty-four clinically healthy animals in different parities, namely Parity 1 (n = 5), Parity 2 (n = 5), Parity 3-6 (n = 9) and heifers (n = 5), wer...
