ABSTRACT: Bone trauma triggers an acute inflammatory response, which can alter the serum concentration of acute-phase proteins (PFA). We aimed to evaluate effectiveness PFA measurement as a laboratory biomarker for inflammation related bone regeneration. A partial ostectomy right radius was performed on 22 young male rabbits. The complete blood count, albumin, ceruloplasmin, haptoglobin, C-reac...

(2009) Haptoglobin and serum amyloid A in bulk tank milk in relationto raw milk quality. Access to the published version may require journal subscription. Summary 25 The aim of the present study was to evaluate relationships between the presence of the 26 two major bovine acute phase proteins haptoglobin (Hp) and serum amyloid A (SAA) 27 and raw milk quality parameters in bulk tank milk samples...

Objective: to study the impact of haptoglobin gene polymorphism on iron overload, oxidative stress and antimullerian hormone in BTM women in Egypt. Methods: case-control study. 47 BTM women, aged between 16-26 years and 47 age-matched regularly menstruating women as control. Haptoglobin Hp1/2 gene polymorphism by PCR, Hemoglobin electrophoresis, serum haptoglobin, ferritin, malondialdehyde MDA,...

Abstract To improve outcome prediction following subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), we sought a biomarker integrating early brain injury and multiple secondary pathological processes in prospective study of 42 non-traumatic SAH patients 19 control individuals. Neurofilament light (NF-L) was elevated CSF serum SAH. NF-L on Days 1–3 post-SAH strongly predicted modified Rankin score at 6 months, inde...

Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of 101 clinically healthy Iranian fat-tailed sheep according to their age (5 years) and sex. Serum haptoglobin (Hp) was measured based upon the preservation of the peroxidase activity of haemoglobin, which is directly proportional to the amount of Hp. The reference value for serum Hp of apparently healthy Iranian fat-tailed sheep was 0.05-0.18 ...

This study was carried out to determine serum haptoglobin levels of pregnant cows with complications during pregnancy. A total 28 animals were included in the study, 14 healthy birth and complicated pregnancies, whose processes followed same farm. Blood samples taken from vena jugularis into yellow capped biochemistry tubes at 6th month their Serum albumin, globulin protein measurements made an...

Associations between serum concentrations of haptoglobin, pathological lung lesions indicative of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (EP) or Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (PL) infection at slaughter and previous rearing environment were investigated in 510 pigs (90-100 kg live weight) from 17 farms in England. Haptoglobin concentrations were significantly higher in pigs showing pathological signs of EP...

Antibody to purified type 1-1 human serum haptoglobin was obtained in rabbits. Using this antiserum it was demonstrated that the antigenic determinants of the haptoglobin molecule reside in both alpha- and beta-chains. No immunological difference between the normal alpha(1F)- and alpha(1S)-chains of haptoglobin could be detected. A number of healthy individuals whose haptoglobin pattern appeare...

A time-resolved immunofluorometric assay (TR-IFMA) was developed for the determination of haptoglobin (Hp) in canine serum. Haptoglobin was purified from canine acute phase serum by ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by gel filtration. This isolated dog Hp was used as the standard to calibrate the assay. Intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation of the assay were, respectively, 5.7...

This study was designed to evaluate serum and milk haptoglobin (Hp) as an inflammatory indicators for the diagnosis of diseases in cattle in Fars province of Iran. Blood samples were collected from the coccygeal vein of 20 clinically healthy cattle and 100 cows with various inflammatory diseases. There were significant differences in serum and milk Hp between clinically healthy cattle and disea...
