ABSTRACT

 

Tajik J, Nazifi S, Eskandarzadeh N, Sepehrimanesh M, Basaki M., Reference serum haptoglobin, amyloid A, and sialic acid values in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). Onl J Vet Res., 15 (3): 270-276, 2011. Serum haptoglobin (Hp), serum amyloid A (SAA), total sialic acid (TSA), Lipid-bound sialic acid (LBSA) and Protein-bound sialic acid (PBSA) concentrations were determined from 100 clinically healthy water buffaloes. The mean serum concentrations of Hp, SAA, TSA, LBSA and PBSA were 0.094±0.002 g/l, 3.3±0.18 μg/ml, 2.53±0.006 mmol/l, 1.2±0.005 mmol/l and 1.33±0.007 mmol/l, respectively. There was no difference between gender or age in any value or any correlation between age and the measured proteins and TSA or its lipid- and protein bound components with Hp and SAA. In contrast, changes in TSA correlated with PBSA (r=0.695, P<0.001) and LBSA with PBSA (r=0.58, P<0.001).
