Measurement of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes in serum, plasma, and rumen fluid from sheep

چکیده
Studies involving the consumption,metabolism, and elimination of terpenes by small ruminants consuming terpene-laden shrubs as well as those exploring the potential for natural products as rumen modifiers could benefit from a procedure that measures terpenes in both blood and rumen fluid and that is suitable for either serum or plasma. The objective of this study was to modify an existing procedure for plasma utilizing solid phase extraction/gas chromatography, and extend its use formeasurement of structurally diverse monoand sesquiterpenes in three fluids (serum, plasma, and rumen fluid) from sheep. Generally, terpene recovery was lower from rumen fluid than from serum or plasma, although the extent anddirectionof differences varied among chemicals. Fourteen terpenes (camphene, -pinene, -terpinene,p-cymene, cis-ocimene, 1,8-cineole, -terpinene, terpinolene, linalool, camphor, longifolene, -caryophyllene, -humulene, and caryophyllene oxide) were recovered from serum at near unity. Recovery from rumen fluid was lower than that for serum or plasma for most terpenes, but eight (p-cymene, 1,8-cineole, cissabinene hydrate, terpinolene, borneol, terpin-4-ol, -terpineol, and caryophyllene oxide) were recovered at near unity. Yet, 15 terpene recoveries were below 0.75ng/ng (tricyclene, -pinene, camphene, sabinene, -pinene, myrcene, 2-carene, 3-carene, -terpinene, cis-ocimene, limonene, -terpinene, longifolene, -caryophyllene, and -humulene). Oxygenatedmonoterpeneswere typically recovered in greater quantities and hydrocarbon monoterpeneswere least effectively recoveredwith thismethod. This procedure allows for simultaneousmeasurement and recovery adjustment of a number of terpenes from serum, plasma, and rumen fluid of sheep. Published by Elsevier B.V.

BACKGROUND: Manipulation of rumen microbial population for improving animal performance is done by several methods including medicinal plants. Matricaria chamomille (chamomile) and Cichorium intybus (chicory) are two medicinal plant with antibacterial effect that there is little information about the effects of them on rumen microflora.

متن کاملTechnical note: Protozoa-specific antibodies raised in sheep plasma bind to their target protozoa in the rumen.
Binding of IgG antibodies to Entodinium spp. in the rumen of sheep (Ovis aries) was investigated by adding IgG, purified from plasma, directly into the rumen. Plasma IgG was sourced from sheep that had or had not been immunized with a vaccine containing whole fixed Entodinium spp. cells. Ruminal fluid was sampled approximately 2 h after each antibody dosing. Binding of protozoa by a specific an...

Effect of rumen bacteria from sheep adapted to a tanninferous diet on in vitro fermentation parameters of pistachio hulls using bovine inoculum
Sheep adapted to consume tannins rich feeds such as oak leaf (OL) appear to develop defensive mechanisms by their ruminal bacteria against these polyphenols. The capabilities of ruminal isolated tannins resistant bacteria from these animals to ferment a tanniniferous feed (i.e., pistachio hulls, (PH) which were incubated with rumen fluid from Holstein dairy cows was assessed. Six g positive coc...
