Relationship of serum and plasma copper and ceruloplasmin concentrations of cattle and the effects of whole blood sample storage.

摘要: The present study was conducted to determine whether plasma and serum copper ceruloplasmin concentrations in cattle are different transport of samples with storage on ice before centrifugation affects the measurements. Mean values were higher than serum. Linear regressions (microgram/ml) = 1.200 -0.032 (r2 0.99), (mg/dl) 14.0 + 2.34 0.48), 18.2 2.1 0.43). percentage associated less (55%) (66%). Storage blood for 3 days decreased value by 3.5%. correct effects corrected 1.11 stored -0.04 0.94) 1.22 -0.17 0.86). A cuproprotein may be involved clotting process, some its apparently trapped fibrin clot, causing serum, compared that plasma. difference between calves slightly increased dietary supplementation.
