the purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in the serum concentrations of haptoglobin (hp), serum amyloid a (saa) and igg, iga in calves with diarrhea caused by rotavirus, coronavirus, escherichia coli f5 and eimeria species. the experiment was carried out on 40 diarrhoeic and 10 non-diarrhoeic calves (group c). a total of 13 calves were infected with rotavirus or coronavirus (group ...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the concentration of these acute phase proteins(serum amyloid a, milk amyloid a and serum haptoglobin) and alteration in hematological values in some inflammatory diseases in dairy cattle. fifty-six holstein dairy cows with some inflammatory diseases were used in this study including: subclinical mastitis, hematological infections (theileriosis and an...

this study was designed to evaluate serum and milk amyloid a (saa) as an inflammatory indicator in inflammatory diseases. twenty clinically healthy cows and 100 cows with various inflammatory diseases were selected for this study. blood samples were collected from the coccygeal vein of both healthy and diseased groups. milk samples were taken from four quarters of both groups. milk samples of f...

to evaluate the serum concentrations of haptoglobin (hp) and serum amyloid a (saa) in water buffaloes with abomasal ulcers, the abomasums of 100 randomly selected water buffaloes were examined after slaughter. type i abomasal ulcers were found in 56 out of 100 buffaloes. serum concentrations of hp and saa were measured. there was no significant difference between affected and non-affected buffa...

Introduction: Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness, whose aetiology is still unclear; therefore, information about differences in serum protein patterns may improve the understanding of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. The goal of this study was to use the proteomic approach to identify altered protein levels in the serum samples from patients with schizophrenia. Methods: Blood wa...

objective: diabetes mellitus type 2 is one of the most widespread chronic metabolic diseases. in most cases, this type of diabetes is associated with alterations in levels of some inflammatory cytokines and hormones. considering anti-inflammatory properties of plant extracts rich in ascorbic acid (vitamin c) and alpha-tocopherol (vitamin e), anti-diabetic properties of these two well-known anti...

background: glucocorticoids have several benefits in large animal medicine but apart from their benefits, there are several disadvantages attributed to the use of these drugs. among the disadvantages, disturbance in protein metabolism is one of the side effects of glucocorticoids which has been investigated in human and laboratory animals. objectives: there are no information regarding the effe...

Serum amyloid A, an apolipoprotein of high density lipoproteins, is also present to a lesser degree in low density lipoproteins and is co-localized with apolipoprotein B in atherosclerotic lesions. This study examined the effect of serum amyloid A on cellular affinity of low density lipoprotein in vitro. 125I-labelled low density lipoprotein, when loaded with recombinant serum amyloid A1 (acute...

The importance of serum amyloid A protein in the progression of renal failure was studied over three years in 28 patients with secondary (amyloid A type) amyloidosis predominantly due to rheumatoid arthritis. Creatinine clearance, the amount of protein in the urine, and serum amyloid A and C-reactive protein concentrations were determined regularly. Linear regression analysis showed a close cor...

Cell migration depends on the ability of leukocytes to sense an external gradient of chemotactic proteins produced during inflammation. These proteins include chemokines, complement factors, and some acute phase proteins, such as serum amyloid A. Serum amyloid A chemoattracts neutrophils, monocytes, and T lymphocytes via its G protein-coupled receptor formyl peptide receptor 2. We demonstrate t...
