The subject of this study was to determine urine specific gravity (USg) and urinary creatinine (UCrn) in dogs with different diseases but with normal renal function. Sick dogs with different diseases were divided into nine groups. Dogs suffering from polyuria/polydipsia, vomits, diarrhoea and females in oestrus or pregnant were excluded from the studies. The healthy dogs served as a control group. Over a three-year period, a total of 267 dogs were examined clinically as well as using imaging and laboratory diagnostics methods. In sick dogs, USg and UCrn were found to be essentially decreased (except animals with neurological and uterine diseases, and neurological diseases, respectively), as compared with normal dogs. In clinically healthy animals of the control group, UCrn and USg did not significantly differ between the females and males. As for the control group, no correlation between UCrn/USg and the body weight/age was found, either.
The effects of propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia on heart rate and respiratory rate, body temperature, plasma Ca, P, Na, K, Mg, creatinine, urea, ALT, APT, ALP, GGT, LDH in rabbits have been assessed. This study was carried out on 12 New Zealand White rabbits. Anesthesia induction was performed using propofol, which was slowly administered via IV injection at a dose of 10 mg/kg. Sevoflurane inhalation was administered at an initial concentration of 5%, followed by 2% for anesthesia maintenance. While causing a decrease in heart rate and respiratory frequency, propofol application but did not affect body temperature and hematocrite value. Sevoflurane did not alter heart rate, although it caused respiratory depression and a decrease in body temperature. Propofol-sevoflurane anesthetic combination caused some alterations in ALT and GGT liver enzymes and plasma phosphorus levels. In the light of the findings, the animals had a reliable and controlled anesthesia with the propofol-sevoflurane combination. However, it should be taken into consideration that this combination may impair the electrolyte balance and cause respiratory depression. Thus it has been concluded that a diligent monitorization and an electrolyte support is essential during the period of anesthesia.
The increase of the serum urea to creatinine ratio (UCR) was observed in dogs infected with Babesia canis. Previous studies have suggested that decrease of blood pressure can be one of the reasons for this phenomenon. In this work statistically significant increase of the UCR was observed in dogs with babesiosis. Comparison of the UCR between 23 azotaemic dogs and 25 non-azotaemic dogs infected with Babesia canis showed statistically significantly higher mean of the UCR in azotaemic dogs. Correlations between UCR and systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure (SAP, DAP and MAP) in 48 dogs infected with B. canis were negative (UCR and SAP: r = −0.3909; UCR and DAP: r = −0.3182; UCR and MAP: r = −0.3682) and statistically significant (p < 0.05). This result may indicate contribution of hypotension in the increase of the UCR in canine babesiosis. However, the correlations were not high, and there was no statistically significant correlation between UCR and arterial pressures in azotaemic dogs. Thus, it seems that decrease of blood pressure in dogs with babesiosis explains only partially the cause of increased UCR in infected dogs. The other authors suggested hyperureagenesis and myocardial injury as a potential reason for the increased UCR in canine babesiosis. Thus, further studies are needed to determine causes of increased UCR in dogs with babesiosis, especially on the connection between UCR changes and the concentrations of plasma cardiac troponins and ammonia, and the occurrence of occult blood on fecal examination.
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with muscle weakness. It is unknown, however, how supra-physiological levels of vitamin D affect skeletal muscle. To investigate the effects of increased serum vitamin D (1,25 (OH)2D3 or 1,25D) levels on the contractile properties of the medial gastrocnemius muscle, adult and old female Fischer344 x Brown Norway F1 rats were orally treated with vehicle or the vitamin D analogue alfacalcidol for 1 or 6 weeks. Alfacalcidol treatment resulted in elevated 1,25D serum levels. This was accompanied by hypercalcaemia and a reduction in body mass, the latter largely attributable to a reduced food intake. However, kidney function, as reflected by normal creatinine serum levels, as well as heart mass were unaffected. The 17% reduction in maximal isometric force and power was explicable by a similar loss of muscle mass. The force-frequency relationship of the 6-week-treated old rats was shifted to the left, but neither the shape of the force-velocity relationship nor the fatigability of the muscle were altered. Supra-physiological doses of vitamin D were accompanied by significant reductions in body and muscle mass, but not by an improvement in muscle functioning. Weight loss was largely due to a reduced food intake, while the left shift in the force-frequency relation may be due to increased 1,25D levels.
Oznaczono aktywność amino transferazy asparaginianowej (AspAT), amino transferazy alaninowej (AlAT), gamma-glutamylotransferazy (GGTP-azy) oraz poziom kreatyniny i mocznika w osoczu krwi szczurów otrzymujących przez 90 dni chlorek miedziowy (ok. 0,03 LD50) i azotyn sodu (0,2 LD50). W grupie otrzymującej azotyn sodu stwierdzono zmiany poziomu mocznika i aktywności GGTP-azy.
The effect of the Panax ginseng powder extract on reproduction, growth, renal and liver functions and some blood biochemical indices of Japanese quails were investigated. Panax ginseng powder extract at 2 mg and 4 mg/bird daily increased egg number per hen, average egg weight and hatchability. It slightly improved the efficiency of feed utilization and increased the levels of serum total protein, alkaline phosphatase and aspartate amino transferase (AST). The extract decreased significantly the levels of albumin, total lipids, triacylglycerols, cholesterol and glucose, and had no effect on body weight and the levels of serum bilirubin, urea and creatinine. This suggests that long term studies should be done on many different biochemical and physiological parameters and laboratory animals.
