The aim of this study is to investigate antioxidant enzymes, oxidative stress biomarkers and the acute phase proteins levels for subclinical and clinical pregnancy toxemia and to determine the effect of early diagnosis on the success of curing. According to the results of clinical and biochemical parameters, from 39 ewes, 10 were healthy ewes (control group), 13 ewes had subclinical pregnancy t...

the effect and outcome of pregnancy in patients with chronic idiopathic glomerulonephritis was studied. the study population consisted of 98 patients. all patients were divided into 8 groups according to presence, absence or coexistence of 3 general risk factors such as hypertension, renal failure and nephrotic syndrome. the adverse effect of renal disease and risk factors on the outcome of pre...

Lesion of toxemia in first trimester pregnan­cies: Lesion of toxemia of pregnancy, compris­ing desidual arteriolar thickening, narrowing, degeneration, and endothelial vacuolization with trophoblastic degeneration and fibrin thrombi attached to degenerated chorionic villi, were evident in 46 (14.1 per cent) of 326 induced first trimester abortioruJ. No clinical features of toxemia were present,...

Thin ewes or very over-conditioned ewes and ewes carrying multiple pregnanciesare more likely to develop pregnancy toxemia (ketosis). Pregnancy toxemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by hypoglycemia and hyperketonemia resulting from incapacity of the ewes to maintain adequate energy balance (usually in the last 5-6 weeks).Available information about pregnancy toxemia focuses mainly on pa...

Metabolic and endocrine characteristics of pregnancy toxemia are well documented in small ruminants, but less known in other species. The objective of this study was to measure plasma levels of certain metabolites and metabolic hormones related to the energetic status in blood from sick and healthy, non-pregnant (control) ferrets. Blood was collected from moribund, hypothermic, late pregnant fe...

The excretion rates of the C19-mineralcorticoids, 16beta-hydroxy-DHEA and 16-oxo-androstenediol, were measured in subjects with low-renin essential hypertension and toxemia of pregnancy. C19-mineralocorticoid excretion in low-renin essential hypertension ranged from 70-790 microgram per day. No significant difference in 16beta-hydroxy-DHEA and 16-oxo-androstenediol excretion was found between t...
