Erythrocyte, Saliva And Serum Arginase Activity With Serum Urea And Estrogen Levels Inakkaraman And Ivesi Sheep In Pregnancy And Postpartum, Sema Temi̇zer Ozan, Sema Yaralioğlu Gürgöze, Tülay İleri̇ Büyükoğlu, İhsan Hali̇feoğlu

Arginase (L-arginine amidino hydrolase E.C. 3.5.3.1) is an enzyme catalyzing the last stage of the Krebs-Henseleit cycle and, thus, converting arginine into urea and ornithine. Arginase also plays a part in protein and polyamine synthesis and is affected by hormones in terms of metabolic status. In the present study, erythrocyte, saliva, and serum arginase activity together with serum urea and estrogen levels were examined in Akkaraman and Ivesi sheep in pregnancy and postpartum. Comparisons were then made between the species. In pregnancy the urea level in saliva increased. However, the urea level in serum decreased. No clear difference was observed …

Determination Of Pregnancy, Embryonic-Fetal Mortality, Ovarium Functions And Uterus Diameter In Cows By Ultrasonography, Seli̇m Aslan, German Wesenauer

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study 57 cows at the puerperal stage (between 15-45 days) and at early pregnancy period (between 8-58 days) were subjected to clinical and Ultrasonography check at 10-day intervals. On the 8 th day of post insemination (p.ins.) areas of nidation ranging from 0,5-1,5 cm were established by means of US (n=53) and on 40 animals (70,2%) the development of these areas were followed until the 58th day of pregnancy. In the other 13 cows (22,8%), begining from early embriyonic featal deaths (18) days and late embriyonic featal deaths (28 days) were established ultrasonographycally. 4 animals (7,0%) that no …

Endothelin-1 levels in normal and preeclamptic pregnant women were determined serially to investigate the correlation between renal function tests and the severity markers of preeclampsia. Plasma endothelin-1 levels were determined in 45 serial plasma samples from 15 pregnant women who subsequently developed preeclampsia, and in 43 plasma samples from 25 women with uncomplicated pregnancies retrospectively. Renal function tests, complete blood counts, urinalysis and blood pressure measurements were performed during antenatal follow-ups of these patients. No correlations were set between plasma endothelin-1 levels and renal function tests, thrombocyte and white blood cell counts, proteinuria, systolic and diastolic blood pressures. There was …
