Determining factors and interspecific modeling for serum amyloid a concentrations in working horses, donkeys, and mules.

摘要: Abstract Serum amyloid A (SAA) is an acute phase protein and α-globulin that produced in the liver response to inflammatory cytokines. Considered a major most domestic species, its concentrations rapidly decrease after resolution of inflammation, making SAA measurement useful tool for monitoring course inflammation individual animal. The objective this study was compare values working equids including mules, donkeys horses as well different diseases at various times year. Samples were collected from 77 equids; 13 17 47 sick or injured animals who presented clinic. Twenty-eight disease clinical diagnoses compared with cases being colitis. highly significant differences between species found when comparing mules (P   .05). suggests can be helpful diagnosis maybe less than but future studies evaluating healthy diseased should conducted.
