The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between activation acute phase response and fatty liver in transition dairy cows. Fatty induced cows by feeding 8 kg cracked corn 1 mo before expected day parturition. Liver blood samples were obtained at days -4, 3, 8, 12, 14, 22, 27, 36 postpartum. Cows that developed (n = 4) reached peak total lipids 12 postpartum with 11.4% (wet wt.) compared 6.6% control 4). had greater plasma tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α),...
1. Solutions containing acetate, [2-14C]propionate and butyrate were placed into the ruminoreticulum of calves to measure extent which propionate is metabolized by epithelium. In response five different combinations pH total volatile fatty acid concentrations, absorption rates ranged from 89 341mmol/h. 2. The conversion lactate, calculated both concentration specific radioactivity in portal arterial blood, averaged 4.9 (range 2.5–9.1)%. 3. Circulating glucose synthesized had a higher than...
Two Brown Swiss and two Holstein steers, average weight of 226 kg, were fasted 8 d. days before the fast, jugular vein catheters installed. Blood samples collected every 15 min from 0800 to 1400 h on d 0, 2, 5 fasting. Plasma each sample was analyzed for concentrations growth hormone, selected insulin, glucagon, glucose, beta-hydroxybutyrate, free fatty acids, urea N glycerol. Both hormone insulin decreased by 2 fast remained at that concentration. Glucagon, however, constant. From 0 acids...
