“…Regarding serum total protein profile, the decrease in its level at term or prior to parturition had also been reported in cows [55][56][57], ewes [58], and goats [59]. In our findings, significantly lower values of serum albumin were seen in pregnant she camels that were agreed with the results of Hang-Poung [60].…”

THIS STUDY aimed to determine the changes in the hormonal and biochemical profile of pregnant dromedary camels to provide a baseline data under Egyptian climatic conditions. Blood samples were collected from15 pregnant she-camels aged 8-11 years old just postconception and thereafter monthly during gestation period and during periparturient period (at days 15, 7,4and 1prepartum,at parturition and at days 1, 4, 7 and 15 postpartum).Progesterone level increased significantly (P<0.05) after conception and during the1 st and the 2 nd trimester of pregnancy then declined significantly (P<0.05) during the 3 rd trimester. Meanwhile its level decreased significantly (P<0.05) during periparturient period. Cortisol level significantly (P<0.05) increased at the 3 rd trimester and continued increasing significantly during prepartum period with a maximum level on the day of parturition after that it was markedly decreased during the few days postpartum to day 15 postpartum. Thyroid hormones levels were significant (P<0.05) decreased in their levels from early to late gestation then increased significantly (P<0.05) from day of parturition to day 15 postpartum. Total protein and albumin were significantly low (P<0.05) in the 2 nd and the 3 rd trimesters than the first one with no significance alterations in globulin levels. Total antioxidant, glutathione and ascorbic acid levels were lower in the 3 rd trimester than others, whereas the levels were relatively low in prepartum than 15 days postpartum. Malondialdehyde concentration was significantly increased (P<0.05) during late pregnancy period as a result of the physiological stress of pregnancy

“…Albumin is the main protein in mammalian serum, it maintains the oncotic pressure of the blood and it also serves as a carrier for molecules with low water solubility (ie, lipid‐soluble hormones, bile salts, unconjugated bilirubin). Globulins are a heterogeneous group of proteins, including antibodies (mostly IgG, IgM), acute phase proteins (ie, α1‐antitrypsin, α2‐macroglobulin, haptoglobin, serum amyloid A), and hemostatic and fibrinolytic factors (eg, antithrombin III), among many others …”

“…The reference intervals (RI) of the serum protein fractions of animals show distinct species‐specific variations . In some species (people, sheep, goat, rabbit, dog, and rat), albumin predominates over the globulins, whereas in others (horses and cattle), the albumin to globulin ratio (A/G) is either nearly 1:1, or the globulins tend to predominate . The electrophoretic mobility of serum proteins also differs among species .…”

“…Agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) is capable of separating serum proteins into 6–15 fractions, depending on the species . Cellulose acetate was used in the majority of the reports on the use of SPE in physiologic and pathologic conditions in sheep, and only a few studies used AG . The latter were conducted many years ago on a small number of sheep of different ages, breeds, and physiologic conditions.…”

“…Acute phase proteins (APP) are reactants synthesized during an acute phase response to several stimuli such as infection, inflammation, stress, trauma, tissue damage or neoplasia (Pyorala 2000; Murata et al 2004;Petersen et al 2004;Tothova and Kovac 2009;Tothova et al 2014). Moreover, several physiological factors affect serum protein concentrations, including the species and breed, age, hormones, sex, pregnancy, colostrum and milk intake, lactation, temperature, season and seasonal rhythms (Shaffer et al 1981;Krajnicakova et al 2003;Batavani et al 2006;Thomas 2006;Balikci et al 2007;Eckersall 2008;Piccione et al 2010;Janku et al 2011;Piccione et al 2011a;Piccione et al 2012;Nagy et al 2014a;Nagy et al 2014b;Tothova et al 2014;Nagy et al 2015). In addition, serum protein concentrations are affected also by the storage duration of blood serum samples and the refrigerator temperatures (Tothova et al 2012a).…”

Blood serum protein in periparturient goats supplemented with various forms of zinc

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of the study was to compare the contents of individual protein fractions determined by electrophoresis in the blood serum of 32 periparturient goats supplemented with various forms of zinc (Zn). Goats were divided into four groups: Group A was a control (without Zn supplementation). The remaining three groups (B, C, D) were supplemented with Zn in various forms. Group B was supplemented with zinc oxide, Group C with zinc lactate, and Group D with zinc chelate. Individual protein fractions (albumins, α1, α2, β1, β2 a γ-globulins) were identified by electrophoretic analysis. All supplemented groups showed the trend of a positive influence of Zn on γG fractions in the serum protein of the goats; this tendency was significant only in Group C. Moreover, Group C had significantly the highest total protein values and albumins. The results indicated that a feed enriched with various forms of Zn had a significant influence on the quantity of individual protein fractions of blood serum. Our results provide new knowledge on the values of individual protein fractions of serum goats and should be taken into consideration when interpreting the serum protein profile with regard to periparturient goats. Furthermore, we showed the possible positive or negative effects on the values of individual fraction on serum proteins with organic and inorganic zinc form supplemented rich in diet.
