Influência da temperatura e do tempo de armazenamento nas dosagens bioquímicas de uréia e creatinina em soro ou plasma caninos RESUMOO trabalho teve como objetivos avaliar algumas condições de estocagem de soro e de plasma com EDTA 10% utilizados para determinação dos valores de uréia e creatinina em cães, e avaliar a possibilidade de substituir o soro pelo plasma conservado com EDTA 10%. Foram realizadas 3600 análises (1800 amostras de soro e 1800 de plasma) com amostras que permaneceram em temperaturas ambiente, de refrigeração e de congelamento. As análises foram realizadas imediatamente após a obtenção da amostra (tempo 0) e após 2, 6, 12, 24, 72 horas e 30 e 60 dias após a coleta do sangue. Os resultados permitiram concluir que a uréia conservou-se por mais tempo na amostra sérica refrigerada até 30 dias e a creatinina na amostra sérica congelada até 72h. O soro mostrou mais estabilidade que o plasma em todas as condições de estoque estabelecidas.Palavras-chave: Cão, uréia, creatinina, conservação ABSTRACTAiming to evaluating some conditions of EDTA 10% serum and plasma storage for urea and creatinine values determinations in canines as well as analyzing the possibility of serum substitution by plasma, a total of 3600 samples (1800 serum and 1800 of plasma) were analyzed at room, refrigeration and freezing temperatures. Different time intervals were used in the analysis: immediately after sampling (time 0), and at 2, 6, 12, 24, and 72 hours, and 30 and 60
This study analysed the effect of cottonseed hulls and chitosan in diets for lambs by determining the blood metabolite profile, and the histopathology of the kidney, liver, and rumen. Eighty non-castrated Santa Inês lambs, approximately 120 days of age and a mean initial body weight (b.w.) of 22.6 (standard deviation ± 2.2 kg) were assigned to a completely randomised design, with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement. Two chitosan levels and two cottonseed forms were evaluated. The experimental diets were following: diet containing whole cottonseed hulls (WC) without the addition of chitosan; diet containing WC with 136 mg/kg b.w. chitosan added; diet containing ground cottonseed hulls (GC) without the addition of chitosan; diet containing GC with 136 mg/kg b.w. chitosan added. The blood metabolites and hepatic enzymes ALT, AST, GGT were not significantly influenced in the treatment groups, except for the serum cholesterol concentration which was lower (P < 0.05) when the chitosan was combined with the whole cottonseed hulls. There were histopathological alterations (P < 0.05) in the liver and kidney tissue and moderate changes in the rumen samples in the animals fed cottonseed without chitosan, however, when chitosan was added, the changes were less marked. The combination of chitosan with cottonseed hulls (ground or whole) can be supplied safely to feedlot finishing lambs without compromising their health.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
