Studies on the Physiological Relationship between Thyroid Hormones, Serum Lipid Profile and Erythrocyte Antioxidant Enzymes in Clinically Healthy Iranian Fat-tailed Sheep
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of the present study was to determine whether there was any correlation between serum thyroid hormones, lipids, lipoproteins and the activities of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in adult nonpregnant uniparous Iranian pure bred fat-tailed ewes. Blood samples (10 mL) were taken from the jugular vein of 30 clinically healthy Iranian adult nonpregnant uniparous ewes at 8 a.m during 6 consecutive days of summer with a mean ambient temperature of 40°C. The serum was analyzed for thyroxine (T4), tri-iodothyronine (T3), free thyroxine (fT4), free tri-iodothyronine (fT3), cholesterol, triglyceride, lipoproteins [high density lipoprotein (HDL-cholesterol), low density lipoprotein (LDL-cholesterol) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL-cholesterol)], SOD and GPX activity. There were no significant differences in serum thyroid hormones, lipids, lipoproteins and antioxidant enzymes in different days (P>0.05). In addition, there were no significant correlations between serum thyroid hormones, lipids, lipoproteins and antioxidant enzymes in different days (P>0.05).

Determination of serum haptoglobin reference value in clinically healthy Iranian fat-tailed sheep
Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of 101 clinically healthy Iranian fat-tailed sheep according to their age (5 years) and sex. Serum haptoglobin (Hp) was measured based upon the preservation of the peroxidase activity of haemoglobin, which is directly proportional to the amount of Hp. The reference value for serum Hp of apparently healthy Iranian fat-tailed sheep was 0.05-0.18 ...

To evaluate the effects of season, sex and age on serum concentrations of thyroid hormones, cholesterol and triglyceride, and their correlations together in dromedarian camels, these parameters were measured in 180 clinically healthy dromedary camels. No significant difference was detected for the measured serum parameters between the two sexes and among the different age groups of camels and n...
متن کاملThe effect of mercury on thyroid function in sheep
The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of long-term low-dose administration of mercury (Hg) on thyroid function in sheep. In this experiment, 10 clinically healthy, adult, male Iranian sheep, aged approximately 1 year, were randomly allocated into the control (n=5) and mercury (Hg-)-treated (n=5) groups. Both groups were kept under identical conditions in terms of food and e...

Background: Iron deficiency anemia is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Evidences from epidemiological and clinical studies suggest a possible correlation between antioxidant levels and the anemic disease risk. The present work is to investigate antioxidant levels and lipid peroxidation in anemic patients. Methods: A number of 30 patients (15 males and 15 females) we...

This experiment was carried out to determine the effects of turmeric, cinnamon, ginger and garlic powder on mixed sex Cobb-500 broilers performance, serum antioxidant status, and serum thyroid hormones. Heat stresses were created by increasing ambient temperature to 32-34 ˚C from 12: a.m. to 16: p.m. during days 31-42 of the experiment. Blood serum samples were obtained from 6 broilers of each ...
