Evidence of acute phase reaction in asymptomatic dogs naturally infected with Babesia canis
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2020)
Asymptomatic outdoor dogs can be carriers of Babesia canis, but data describing the development of an acute phase response (APR) are not available. We hypothesised that these dogs have a moderate APR that could be detected ...
Low serum levels of promatrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 occur during acute Babesia canis infection in dogs
(Elsevier, 2021)
Inflammation is a hallmark of the acute Babesia canis infection. Promatrix metalloproteinase (proMMP)-2 and -9 are involved in inflammation, but their levels have not been analyzed in canine babesiosis. We hypothesized ...
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome in dogs naturally infected with Babesia canis: Association with the parasite load and host factors
(Elsevier, 2021)
The common signs of canine babesiosis caused by an infection with Babesia canis are fever, anorexia, lethargy, pulse alterations, anemia, and occasionally mild icterus. Dogs with these clinical signs can be divided into ...
DNA-binding and DNA-protecting activities of small natural organic molecules and food extracts
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2020)
The review summarizes literature data on the DNA-binding, DNA-protecting and DNA-damaging activities of a range of natural human endogenous and exogenous compounds. Small natural organic molecules bind DNA in a site-specific ...
Integration of dry-column flash chromatography with NMR and FTIR metabolomics to reveal cytotoxic metabolites from Amphoricarpos autariatus
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Metabolomics generate a profile of small molecules from plant extracts, which could be directly responsible for bioactivity effects. Using thy-column flash chromatography enabled a rapid and inexpensive method for the very ...
Prevalence of intestinal parasites in dogs from public shelters in Serbia
(Elsevier, 2021)
Data on endoparasitic infections in dogs from dog shelters in Southeastern Europe are limited; thus, this study aimed to add to the existing knowledge on this topic by reporting on the prevalence of intestinal parasites ...
The effects of season on health, welfare, and carcass and meat quality of slaughter pigs
(Springer, 2020)
This study assessed the effects of season on health, behaviour, physiological stress parameters, and carcass and meat quality in a total of 480 slaughter pigs. The following health indicators were recorded: pneumonia, ...
Carvacrol acts as a potent selective antagonist of different types of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and enhances the effect of monepantel in the parasitic nematode Ascaris suum
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
The neuromuscular system of parasitic nematodes has proven to be an efficient pharmacological target for antihelmintics. Some of the most frequently used antiparasitic drugs are agonists or antagonists of nicotinic ...
Parathyroid hormone response in treatment of subclinical hypocalcemia inpostpartum dairy cows
(Elsevier, 2020)
The aim of this study was to evaluate different treatments of postpartum subclinical hypocalcemia in dairy cows with emphasis on PTH response. Twenty four cows with subclinical hypocalcemia (Ca 1.4–2.0 mmol/L), out of 180 ...
Structural characteristics of circulating immune complexes in calves with bronchopneumonia: Impact on the quiescent leukocytes
(Elsevier, 2020)
Calf bronchopneumonia is accompanied by increased level of circulating immune complexes (CIC), and we analysed size, and protein and lipid constituents of these CIC with an attempt to elucidate the connection between the ...
