The observation was carried out in a group of 70 female cattle in the course of two years. The animals were kept in suckler herds. They were provided with pasture grass and maize silage indoors during the grazing season and with forage ration (silage and hay) in winter. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of year (2001 and 2002), season (spring and autumn), breed (Aberdeen Angus AA, Beef Simmental BS, Blonde d'Aquitaine BA, Charolais CH, Hereford HE and Limousin LI) and reproduction cycle (pregnant heifers PH, non-pregnant heifers NPH, pregnant cows PC, non-pregnant cows NC and lactating cows with calves LCC) on some blood plasma parameters. Mean values of these parameters were following: Total protein 72.37 gl⁻¹ , glucose (Glu) 3.23 mmol∙l⁻¹, urea (Urea) 4.39 mmol∙l⁻¹, bilirubin (Bilir) 4.63 mmol∙l⁻¹, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 1.02 µkat∙l⁻¹, asparate aminotransferase (AST) 1.29 µkat∙l⁻¹, gamma glutamyltransferase (GMT) 0.30 µkat∙l⁻¹, sodium (Na) 114.33 mmol∙l⁻¹, calcium (Ca) 2.30 mmol∙l⁻¹ and phosphorus (P) 1.99 mmolT1. Year affected TP, Glu, Bilir, ALP, AST (all p<0.01) and urea (p<0.05). Season affected TP, Glu, urea, Bilir, Ca, P (all p<0.01) . There were significant differences in urea, GMT, Ca and P between breeds. Reproduction cycle affected TP and Glu (p<0.05). It can be concluded that year and season affected the observed blood plasma parameters considerably more than breed or reproduction cycle.
Genistein is a phytoestrogen and is found in many plants consumed by humans and animals. This isoflavone was found to exert metabolic effects, especially on lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. The aim of this experiment was to determine whether genistein at a dose of 1 and 5 mg/kg body weight administered intragastrically to male and female adult rats changes insulin, leptin, thyroid hormone, and metabolic parameters. The results suggest that genistein has only a slight influence on metabolism. A substantial reduction of triglyceride stores was observed in the skeletal muscles. This effect was sex-dependent and occurred only in females. Moreover, it was demonstrated that genistein at the higher dose decreased blood insulin and leptin levels.
This paper presents the first recorded measures of resting metabolic rate and body temperature in the tenrec Limnogale mergulus Major, 1896. The preliminary results suggest that, although this is the only aquatic species within the family Tenrecidae, it does not maintain either resting metabolic rate or body temperature at an elevated level. Further studies of this rare, aquatic insectivore are recommended.
Effect of dried pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima D.) supplementation on growth performance, serum biochemistry and parameters antioxidant status of rats. The aim of the studies was to determine the effect of dried pumpkin, used in the diets for rats on parameters of growth, nutrient metabolism and antioxidant status of the animals. The experiment was carried out for 7 weeks with 30 growing male Wistar rats. The animals were classified into three groups, 10 individuals in each group, with the initial body weight of 108 g. The control group (G-0) was fed the semi-synthetic mixture without dried pumpkin additive whereas the experimental groups received the mixture with 5-% (G-5) and 10-% (G-10) additive of the dried pumpkin, Ambar variety. The dry substance was obtained from disintegrated fruits, deprived of seed nests, dried at temperature of 60°C. During the experiment weight gains and feed intake were controlled. After termination of the experiment, the rats were killed by anaesthesia; the blood samples were collected and biochemical indices and indicators of antioxidant status were determined. The dietary treatments had no effects on animal growth and feed utilization. In the animals receiving dried pumpkin in their diets (G-5, G-10) significantly lower level of glucose concentration in serum was found. In group G-0, the higher concentration of triacylglycerolsin relation to group G-10 was recorded. Also, the concentration of total cholesterol in group G-0 was higher in comparison to groups G-5 and G-10. In group G-0, VLDL concentration was also higher in relation to group G-10. In group G-10 vs. groups G-5 and G-0, the higher activity of glutathione peroxidise (GPx) was recorded. Total antioxidant status (TAS) was higher in group G-10 in comparison to groups G-0 and G-5. The effect of the administered diet on indicators of the degree of lipid oxidation was also found. In group G-10 vs. group G-0, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) concentration was lower.

The aim of this study was to evaluate how training affects plasma total, free and esterified L-carnitine concentrations in horses. The study was done on a total of 32 healthy, trained purebred Arabian horses. The 32 horses comprised two groups. In the first group, 12 stallions and 6 mares three-year-old involved in race-training were studied at rest. In the second group, 14 stallions were studied during a typical race or endurance training session. Jugular venous blood samples were collected to determine lactic acid (LA), free fatty acids, glycerol, triacylglycerides (TG), and the total esterified and free L-carnitine contents. The race training session caused a significant increase in blood LA and plasma esterified L-carnitine, glycerol, and TG levels. It also caused a decrease in the plasma free L-carnitine concentration determined just after the end of exercise. Compared with endurance training, high-intensity racing exercise increased the plasma esterified L-carnitine concentration and decreased that of free L-carnitine according to training intensity.
The effects of supplementing cereal-based diets with 0, 40, or 80 g of pectin (P) or 270 g of rye (R) per kg on ileal digestibility of protein and amino acids (AA), and digesta viscosity in pigs of 20 kg body weight (BW), and on growth performance, nitrogen balance, small intestinal morphology, and threonine metabolism parameters in pigs of 15 kg BW were assessed. Digesta viscosity was increased more by 80 g than by 40 g P or by R. Ileal digestibility of AA and nitrogen retention were negatively affected by P, whereas growth performance was decreased by R. The effect of the supplements on intestinal morphology was variable, except for the increase in myenteron thickness by P and crypt depth by R. The number of goblet cells containing acidic mucins was decreased by 40 g P in crypts in the mid-jejunum and by 40 g P and R in villi in the ileum. Fasting and postprandial plasma levels of free threonine and of threonine dehydrogenase activity in the liver and pancreas were not affected. In conclusion, feeding P or R negatively affects ileal AA digestibility and provokes irregular changes of small intestinal morphology. These effects cannot be attributed to the increase of digesta viscosity as the main factor.

Aluminium ions are a serious toxic factor for many organisms living under conditions of the environment. Current views on the mechanisms of aluminium tolerance are pressen ted.
The intake of sulphur offered in different forms was observed in ten ewes of Merino breed during one year. Four sources of sulphur were used: ammonium sulphate, sodium sulphate, calcium sulphate and sulphur. The effect of season (sprihg, summer, autumn and winter) and a phase of reproduction cycle (gestation, lactation, barren period) on the consumption of various sulphur sources were analysed. Significant differences in the intake of sulphur were found in summer, winter (both p<0.01) and autumn (p<0.05) and non-significant differences in spring. A phase of reproduction also affected the intake of sulphur; significant differences were found during gestation, barren period (both p<0.01) and lactation (p<0.05).
