Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) has been considered a key clinical feature of Type 1 diabetes mellitus; however, increasing evidence indicates that DKA is also a common feature of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Many cases of DKA develop under stressful conditions such as trauma or infection but an increasing number of cases without precipitating cause have been reported in children and adults with T2DM. S...

Ketosis induced by starvation or feeding a ketogenic diet has widespread and often contradictory effects due to the simultaneous elevation of both ketone bodies and free fatty acids. The elevation of ketone bodies increases the energy of ATP hydrolysis by reducing the mitochondrial NAD couple and oxidizing the coenzyme Q couple, thus increasing the redox span between site I and site II. In cont...

This work reviews the current impact and manifestation of ketosis (hyperketonemia) in dairy cattle, emphasizing practical use laboratory methods, field tests, milk data to monitoring this disease. Ketosis is a major issue high-producing cows, easily reaching prevalence 20% during early postpartum when negative energy balance well established. Its economic losses, mainly related decreasing yield...

The key sector that ensures the country’s food security is a comprehensive enhancement of livestock raising, including animal husbandry. intensification dairy production leads to increased metabolic stress in animals. Under such conditions, any technological failure can result disorder metabolism cows and development diseases, ketosis (acetonemia). Ketone bodies calf’s body produce an intoxicat...

Subclinical ketosis is a metabolic disorder in high-producing dairy cattle that can be detected by ketone bodies in milk: acetone (Ac), acetoacetate (AcAc), and beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry is to a growing extent used for determination of milk constituents in milk recording, but as yet there is no calibration for ketone bodies available. The object...

BACKGROUND An elevated plasma glucose concentration has been considered to be a potential risk factor in the pathogenesis of left-displaced abomasums (DA). Therefore the present study was performed to investigate if spontaneous disease (parturient paresis, metritis, ketosis etc) in dairy cows results in elevated concentrations of glucose and cortisol in blood as cortisol is the major regulator ...
