Ten adult healthy bitches and 10 bitches with transmissible venereal tumour were investigated. Serum malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, antioxidant activity, vitamin C, retinol, β-carotene, adenosine deaminase activity, oestradiol-17β, progesterone, and cortisol were determined. Oxidative damage and increased adenosine deaminase activity were (P<0.05) demonstrated in bitches with the tumour compared to healthy bitches. In conclusion, antioxidant supplementation may be useful in the treatment of bitches with transmissible venereal tumour.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of L-arginine (L-Arg) levels in diet at the starter, grower and finisher phases on immune response, organ development, nitric oxide (NO) metabolism and colon motility in broilers. A total of 500 one-day-old Ross-308 broiler chickens of mixed sex were separated into one Arg-deficient group and four experimental groups. Each group was then divided into five subgroups of 20 birds each. Arginine deficient group for all phases was fed a basal diet which contained 10% less L-Arg than optimum Arg requirement recommended by the breeder. Experimental groups were fed a basal diet supplemented with L-Arg which was progressively 10% increased in groups. Thus, the diet contained 90, 100, 110, 120 and 130% of optimum Arg requirement for each phases in groups, respectively. The highest serum infectious bursal disease antibody titer (IBD) was observed in the experimental group which was fed the diet containing 110% L-Arg at grower phase (P<0.05), whereas Newcastle disease antibody titer did not differ between groups. The relative weight of spleen increased in groups which were fed the diet containing 120 and 130% L-Arg at starter phase as compared to Arg-deficient group (P<0.05). The group which was fed the diet containing 110% L-Arg showed highest relative weight of bursa Fabricii at grower (P<0.05) and finisher (P<0.01) phases. It was observed that serum nitric oxide (NO) concentration decreased in Arg-deficient group (P<0.05). The amplitude of spontaneous colon contractility did not differ between groups at the end of all three phases. However, the frequency of spontaneous colon contractility in the Arg deficient group was higher at starter (P<0.05), grower (P<0.01) and finisher (P<0.05) phases.These results suggest that the supplementation of L-Arg at higher level than optimum Arg requirement in broiler diet has minimal effect on parameters investigated in the study. However, L-Arg-deficiency may negatively affect immune response and the motility of gastrointestinal system due to disruption of NO metabolism at three phases.

Acute phase response (APR) is part of the early defense system, which is triggered by different stimuli including, infection, trauma, stres, inflammation and neoplasia. The APR complex is a reaction which induces homeostasis and recovery. In this research, serum amyloid A (SAA), interlaukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and nitric oxide (NO) levels were measured 12 hours following injection. For this purpose, Thirty-two 5 weeks old laying chicken were allocated into four groups and intra-articular injections of Freund’s adjuvant were used to induce amylod arthropathy in Groups II, III and IV. Vitamin A in group II, and methylprednisolone in group IV were added to enhance and to reduce the severity of amyloidosis, respectively. At the end of the research, it was observed that TNF-α and NO increased significantly (P<0.05) in vitamin A and methylprednisolone groups whereas SAA decreased significantly (P<0.05) in all groups. It was also observed that IL-6 increased (P<0.05) in vitamin A group and decreased in all other gorups however, IL-1β decreased in vitamin A and methylprednisolone groups, while it was increased in the control group. The results of this study suggest that there is a positive correlation between serum TNF-α levels in acute and chronic phase in chickens with amyloid arthropathy.
