The effect of blood chemistry on the rheological properties of the fluid
… coefficients were calculated on whole blood samples within a narrow range of hematocrit to investigate further the effect of the various plasma constituents on whole blood viscosity. Viscosity measurements were made on one hundred anticoagulated blood samples of known hematocrit and …

Pharmacokinetics and Effects on Blood Chemistry of Cyclosporine in Human Infants and Kid Goats
… of the ruminal groove in the long term study. Blood chemistries that were affected by CSA were magnesium, glucose and cholesterol. For the human infant, the two-part study consisted of immediate post cardiac transplant, mean 4.9 ± 0.3 days (SEM) and long term, mean age 16.8 ± 2.3 months with …

The effects of temperature, water quality and culture conditions on the immunology, hematology, and blood chemistry of hybrid striped bass
… to determine immunologic, hematologic and serum chemistry changes under different culture conditions. The kinetics of the humoral immune response was determined for sunshine bass acclimated to 10, 18, 24, 29°C, and to elevated ammonia (0.15 mg/L NH3) and elevated nitrate (200 mg/L). These …

The Acute and Chronic Effects of a Cyclic Heat Stress on 24 to 28 Week Old Laying Hens on Performance, Egg Quality, Apparent Metabolizable Energy, and Blood Chemistry
… corrected apparent metabolizable energy, and blood chemistry in laying hens at acute and chronic time points. In total, 407 pure line laying hen pullets (18 wk) were sourced from Hy-Line International and housed individually for the duration of the experiment. Feed intake, egg production, and …

Immunological Responses in the Prairie Rattlesnake CROTALUS VIRIDIS VIRIDIS Rafinesque 1818, to Laboratory Infection with Tetrathyridia of MESOCESTOIDES CORTI Hoeppli 1925 (Eucestoda : Mesocestoididea)
… of 25, 30, and 35 C for 4--24 weeks. Blood chemistry evaluations of the host were made by standard hematological methods. Eosinophil counts, total proteins, and serum gamma globulins increased while packed-cell volumes and hemoglobins decreased. Autopsy studies revealed the first …

Influence of Diet on Growth and Health of Captive Hatchling Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus)
… we compared growth rates, sprint speeds, and blood chemistry parameters of gopher tortoise hatchlings reared on four different diets over a period of 168 days. Tortoises fed Mazuri brand tortoise diet or a mixture of horse feed and vegetables had significantly higher growth rates than those …

Physiological Plasticity and Ecology of the Yellow Mud Turtle (Kinosternon Flavescens) During Hibernation
… capacity to tolerate variable winter conditions, blood chemistry profiles were measured at the beginning and end of simulated hibernation, and following recovery in water after hibernation ended. Most blood chemistry variables increased in concentration during hibernation then returned to …

Experimental Evaluation of Urinary Bladder Marsupialization in Male Goats
… obstruction. Renal ultrasonography, complete blood count, and blood chemistry analysis were evaluated preoperatively (day 0), at 7 postoperative days, and at 30-day intervals until 180 postoperative days. Stomal diameter was recorded at each interval. Necropsy examination was performed on day …

Friends or foes? Blood parasite costs and defence abilities in young raptor hosts
… use multiple approaches such as transcriptomic, blood chemistry, physiology, and survival analyses, to assess host defence abilities and consequences of endoparasite infections during host nestling phase. I show that in a long-lived raptor, the common buzzard (Buteo buteo), nestlings infected …

Effects of nursery floor space allowance on growth, physiology, and immunology of replacement gilts
… feed intake was not measured, changes in blood counts and blood chemistry for gilts allowed reduced floor space were similar to other studies that reported negative effects of crowding on feed consumption. Further study of the gilts involved in this study will aim to determine if there are …

Effects of Spray-Dried Porcine Plasma (SDPP) Administered as an Oral Gavage on Indicators of Health, Welfare, and Performance in Pigs Transported After Weaning
… the wean-to-finish barn. Rectal temperatures and blood samples were obtained at weaning and after relocation. Body weight was determined on d 1, at weaning, after relocation, and at weekly intervals for 5 wk thereafter. Blood chemistry profiles and serum cortisol concentrations were also …

Establishing genetic and physiological baselines for the black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus).
… for healthy, pet prairie dog hematology and blood chemistries were also established. Results signify that data gathered from pet prairie dog blood analyses should be referenced against hematology and blood chemistry baselines established using pet prairie dog subjects.

Comparison of a commercial weight loss program to traditional exercise
… secondary purpose was to investigate changes in blood chemistry and blood pressure. Forty-three overweight (BMI [greater than or equal to] 25) and sedentary women received a 12 week membership to either WW or TE. Subjects in WW were instructed to follow the dietary and exercise recommendations of …
