Paraoxonase, Haptoglobin, Serum Amyloid A, Tumör Necrosis Factor and Acetylcholinesterase Levels in Ewes Pregnancy Toxemia

Objective: In this study were investigated serum paraoxonase, haptoglobin, tumor necrosis factor-α, acetylcholinesterase, serum amyloid A, beta-hydroxybutyric acid, nonesterified fatty acids, glucose, total protein, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, cholesterol and triglyceride in ewes with pregnancy toxemia Materials and Methods: This study consisted of 10 control and 10 groups with pregnancy toxemia, comprising 20 merino hybrid ewes aged between 2-6 years. Results: The analysis of blood serum samples revealed that serum amyloid A (SAA), haptoglobin (HPT), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF), paraoxonase (PON1), acetylcholinesterase (ACHE), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transferaz (GGT) and cholesterol did not differ statistically significant between two groups although SAA, HPT, TNF, PON1, ACHE, AST, GGT levels were higher in ewes with pregnancy toxemia when compared to healthy ewes. Beta hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) and nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) (P
