Ketosisas a metabolic disease is generallynot recognized under commercial swine production methods. This case report involves a sow presented for a Caesarean delivery of her piglets. During the last few weeks of gestation the sow was anorexic, had elevated liver enzymes, ketonuria, and mild ketonemia. After surgical delivery of a normal litter the urinary ketone concentrations decreased slowly....

A subset of insulin requiring diabetes in the young (IRDY) is ketosis resistant. Its pathogenesis and pathophysiology remain ill defined. The current study was done to evaluate the exocrine and endocrine dysfunction in ketosis resistant young diabetics. Fecal chymotrypsin (unit/G), basal & stimulated c-peptide levels (pmol/ml) and sonographic evaluation of the pancreas were done in 59 IRDY pati...

Objectives. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) with ketosis was common because of late diagnosis and lacking adequate treatment in rural regions of China. This study aimed to provide the data of T2D with ketosis among inpatients in a south-west border city of China. Methods. Data of 371 patients of T2D with ketosis who were hospitalized between January 2011 and July 2015 in Baoshan People's Hospital, Yunnan...

AIM The present study was conducted to ascertain the prevalence of ketosis in dairy cows in dairy herds, milksheds, and mixed population of milk cows selected randomly in milkshed areas of Odisha state, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS The investigation was conducted in 280 private dairy herds with variable herd size of 10-15 cows comprising crossbred Jersey cows (CBJ), crossbred Holstein Friesia...

The study included 125 cows with reduced appetite and with clinical signs interpreted by the owner as indicating bovine ketosis 6 to 75 days postpartum. Almost all of the cows were given concentrates 2 to 3 times daily. With a practitioners view to treatment and prophylaxis the cows were divided into 5 diagnostic groups on the basis of thorough clinical examination, milk ketotest, decreased pro...

BACKGROUND The ketogenic diet (KD) is a very low-carbohydrate, high-fat and adequate-protein diet with no calorie limit that induces a metabolic condition called "physiological ketosis". It was first introduced to treat epilepsy in the 1920s and has become quite popular recently as weight-loss and performance-enhancing diet. Its therapeutic use in a range of diseases is under investigation. Dur...

Aiming at the determination of the metabolic disorder prevalence as well as the effect of subclinical disorders on daily milk traits of Holsteins, over 1 million (1 962 831) test day records were analysed. The metabolic disorder (ketosis or acidosis) prevalence was indicated by the fat-to-protein (F/P ) ratio, while subclinical disorder was indicated by the F/P ratio and cows’ daily production....

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to test the accuracy of capillary ketonemia for diagnosis of ketosis after interruption of insulin infusion. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 18 patients with type 1 diabetes treated by external pump were studied during pump stop for 5 h. Plasma and capillary ketonemia and ketonuria were determined every hour from 7:00 A.M. (time 0 min = T0) to 12:00 P....

BACKGROUND Ketogenic diets are used therapeutically to treat intractable seizures. Clinically, it appears that the maintenance of ketosis is crucial to the efficacy of the diet in ameliorating seizures. To understand how ketosis and seizure protection are related, a reliable, noninvasive measure of ketosis that can be performed frequently with minimal discomfort is needed. OBJECTIVE The objec...

BACKGROUND Ketosis is an important problem for dairy cows` production performance. However, it is still little known about plasma metabolomics details of dairy ketosis. RESULTS A gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) technique was used to investigate plasma metabolic differences in cows that had clinical ketosis (CK, n=22), subclinical ketosis (SK, n=32), or were clinically normal cont...
