...ally C-reactive protein, haptoglobin and ceruloplasmin. While albumin and transferrin levels were found to be low as compared to control animals. The results obtained in this study revealed that tacrolimus resulted in the onset of acute phase response in experimental animals owing to its toxic potential....

...reactive proteins (CRP), haptoglobin and fecal calprotectin concentration as prognostic markers in dogs with IBD. After a detailed clinical, laboratory and ultrasonographic examination 21 IBD dogs with symptoms of chronic gastrointestinal diseases were chosen for the study. In addition to 11 healthy dogs served as control group. In comparison to controls, hematological analysis revealed significant variations (p<0.05) in total leukocyte count, hemoglobin, a...

...ed saline (control). The haptoglobin (Hp), serum amyloid A (SAA) and α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) levels in serum and milk were measured at pre-and post-infection (6, 24, 48 and 72 h) using the ELISA method. The SCC was determined by the direct microscopic method. Results revealed a time-dependent change of Hp, SAA and AGP in the infected group compared to the control. The APP levels in the milk were significantly higher (p<0.05) than those in the serum...

...d to investigate whether haptoglobin (Hp) and amyloid A levels in milk may be an alternative method for diagnosing subclinical mastitis (SM) in dairy cows. Ten subclinical-, 16 clinical mastitis and 39 healthy Holstein cows were allocated to the study following California Mastitis Test (CMT). Thus, a total of 65 Holstein cows participated in the study. In the study, Staphylococcus aureus (n = 10) was isolated as the most dominant bacterial species seen in clin...
