Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Information regarding serum biochemicalprofile can reflect cardiovascular performance in animals.Although studies have evaluated the inter-relationship amongcardiovascular biomarkers in animals and human beings, thereare no reports of such a probable relationship in camelids.OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to provide dataon the correlations among cardiovascular biomarkers indifferent ages of clinically healthy male dromedary camels toprovide a basis for assessing cardiac muscle healthiness in thisspecies. METHODS: Thirty clinically healthy dromedary camels(Camelus dromedarius) were selected and divided into four agegroups including 1-3 (n=7), 4-6 (n=7), 7-9 (n=8), and above 10(n=8) years old. Blood samples were collected and sera wereseparated. Serum concentrations of homocysteine (Hcy),cardiac troponin I (cTnI), creatine kinase-myocardial specificisoenzymes (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanineaminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)were evaluated. RESULTS: The results of the present studyshowed that there were significant correlations among cTnI andCK-MB (r=-0.853; p=0.015) and Hcy (r=0.916; p=0.004) in the4 to 6-years-old group of clinically healthy male dromedarycamels. LDH was significantly correlated with CK-MB in the 7to 9-year-old group (r=-0.710; p=0.045). There were nosignificant correlations among different factors of 1-3 and above10-year-old groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The data providedhere is the first report on cardiac health assessment parameters indromedary camels. Moreover, the data is valuable in camelracing clubs, when an overall cardiac health and fitness is to beassessed. The correlation reported here might also be helpful foreasier analysis of cardiac health status in dromedary camels. Thedata may be useful for assessing suspected cases of myocardialdiseases and its changes maybe of prognostic value.

Sertraline alters level of adenosine deaminase activity, oxidative stress markers and cardiac biomarkers (homocysteine cardiac troponin I) in rats

The aim of this study is whether oxidative stress markers, homocysteine (Hcy), cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and the activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) alter following administration of different doses of sertraline. Sixty male Wistar rats were assigned into four groups. Sertraline at doses of 20, 40 and 80 mg / kg / day) were administered to three groups through gastric gavage for 90 days. The ...

Synovial fluid inflammatory cytokines and proteins in clinically healthy and arthritic joint of dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius)

Analyzing the synovial fluid is one of the common methods to diagnose the articular problems to detect the stage and express the prognosis. Such gross, cytological, and biochemical analysis of synovial fluids can aid in the diagnosis of various joint diseases. Objectives: Normal values for synovial fluid in the camels have been described previously; however, there are no reports regarding conce...

Weekly and 90-minute biological variations in cardiac troponin T and cardiac troponin I in hemodialysis patients and healthy controls.

BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) is diagnosed by the finding of a single cardiac troponin value above the 99th percentile and a significant time-dependent change in cardiac troponin concentration. The aim of this study was to determine the 90-min and weekly biological variations, the reference change value (RCV), and the index of individuality (II) of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (h...

Degradation of cardiac troponin I in serum complicates comparisons of cardiac troponin I assays.

BACKGROUND Up to a 20-fold variation in serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentration may be observed for a given patient sample with different analytical methods. Because more limited variation is seen for control materials and for purified cTnI, we explored the possibility that cTnI was present in altered forms in serum. METHODS We used four recombinantly engineered cTnI fragments to study ...
