2α levels were determined by
ELISA, while serum C-reactive protein, creatine kinase-MB, aspartate
aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, cholesterol,
triglyceride, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels were determined by
otoanalyzer. Area under the concentration time curve (AUC 0-24 ),
maximal concentration in plasma or serum (C max ) and time to reach
Cmax (t max ) values were determined by pharmacokinetic computer
program. Results: Macrolide antibiotics increased serum tumor necrosis factor
α and plasma 13, 14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin F 2α
levels. Conclusion: Macrolide antibiotics used in veterinary area may no shown
depression on immune system. Hovewer, investigation is need that especially

2a (PGM) in lipopolysaccharide-induced endotoxemia. Materials and
Methods: Rats were divided into seven groups. To induce endotoxemia,
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was injected into all groups, including the positive
control. The six other groups received the following drugs: ENR, FM, low-dose
DEX, high-dose DEX, ENR + FM + low-dose DEX and ENR + FM + high-dose DEX. After
the treatments, blood samples were collected at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, and 48
hours. Serum tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin- 6 (IL-6),
interleukin-10 (IL-10), ADA and plasma PGM levels were determined by ELISA. Area
under the concentration time curve (AUC 0-48 ), maximal concentration
in plasma or serum (C max ) and time to reach (t max )
values were determined by pharmacokinetic computer program. Results: ENR
increased (p<0.05) AUC 0-48 of PGM and decreased (p<0.05)
AUC 0-48 of IL-6, IL-10 and ADA, while FM decreased (p<0.05)
AUC 0-48 of IL-6 and ADA compared to LPS group. DEX alone and
combined administrations caused the lower AUC 0-48 of all values
(p<0.05). Conclusion: Kinetic values, especially AUC, may be used for total
evaluation of endotoxemia markers determined at different sampling times in same
groups as a different and logical approach.]]>2010-01-01Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences1260192010-01-01015Original Article

sulphamethoxazole related with renal failure. Also area under the curve value
decreased, and mean residence time value increased with renal failure
(p<0.05). Conclusion: Study result showed that dosage and administration
intervals of sulphamethoxazole were important for patients with renal failure.]]>2010-01-01Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences1260242010-01-01021Original Article

10 cfu/g, respectively. The number of E. coli bacteria in analyzed samples
was found between 1.15 and 3.17 log 10 cfu/g and found statistically
significant (p<0.05). No proliferation was determined in sausage, salami and
pastrami samples. It was found that the lowest values were in poultry haunch
samples (1.15 log 10 cfu/g), the highest levels were in minced meat
(3.17 log 10 cfu/g). In four of the minced meat samples analyzed in
this study, E.coli O157 (11.1%) was determined, in two of them E.coli O157:H7
(8.1%) and in one refrigerated hamburger meat ball sample E.coli O157 and E.coli
O157:H7 (4.34%) were determined. Conclusion: The presence of E.coli O157 and
E.coli O157:H7 in minced meat and refrigerated hamburger meat indicates that,
these products have low microbiological quality and threaten public health.]]>2010-01-01Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences1260312010-01-01025Original Article

2α protocols for cryopreserved embryo transfer was examined.
Materials and Methods: A total of 46 Brown Swiss cows assigned randomly into
three groups. Group I (n=15) cows injected 0.150 mg cloprostenol intramuscularly
at random stage of the oestrus cycle. Following the injections, cows were
observed for oestrus for 5 days. The other cows were received two 0.150 mg I.M.
injections of cloprostenol 11 (Group II, n=15) or 14 (Group III, n=16) days
apart. In Group II and III, cows were observed for oestrus for 5 days after the
last injections. All cows were transferred embryos cryopreserved by ethylene
glycol on d 7 (oestrus 0). Pregnancy diagnoses were performed on d 28 by
ultrasonography. Results: Injection-oestrus intervals and pregnancy rates were
56.13±4.37 h and 53.3%; 62.40±3.42 h and 46.7%; 70.75±3.08 h and 43.8% in
groups I, II and III, respectively. Injection-oestrus interval was lower in
Group I than in Group III (p<0.05) and was similar between groups I and II
and groups II and III (p>0.05). The differences in pregnancy rates among
groups were not significant (p>0.05). Conclusions: All synchronization
protocols evaluated in this study can be used for oestrus synchronization for
cryopreserved embryo transfer in cows.]]>2010-01-01Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences1260432010-01-01039Original Article

® ) used to freeze
bull semen and their synergistic effects on post-thaw sperm motility,
morphological abnormalities and membrane integrity assessed. Materials and
Methods: Ejaculates obtained from each Simmental bull (n:12) divided in three
equal aliquots and diluted in CEY 5% (B5), 10% (B10) supplemented, and without
any CEY (B0) in soy bean lecithin - based extender, respectively. Thereafter,
they were frozen and thawed following a standart protocol. Sperm cryosurvival
was evaluated in vitro by microscopic assessments of post-thaw sperm motility
(by means of the CASA), acrosomal and other abnormalities (head, mid-pieces, and
tail) and plasma membrane integrity (evaluated by HOST). Results: In Simmental
bulls, semen extended with B5 had significantly higher CASA motility and CASA
progressive motility than those extended with the rest of extenders after
freezing and thawing (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in VAP,
VCL, and ALH among the three groups (p>0.05). For VSL (p<0.01) and LIN
(p< 0.001), the highest values were obtained from B10 group. The highest
percentages of acrosomal and other abnormalities were found in semen diluted in
B10 (p<0.001). In the group frozen B5, the percentage of membrane integrity
was significantly higher than that of the other groups (p<0.001). Conclusion:
The use of CEY 5% in combination with soy bean lecithin significantly improved
bull semen freezability.]]>2010-01-01Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences1260492010-01-01045Original Article

® and Bioxcell
® extenders, respectively. Thereafter they were frozen and thawed
following a standard protocol. The effectiveness of freezing extenders was
assessed according to postthaw sperm motility, acrosomal and total abnormalities
and plasma membrane integrity. Results: With respect to Holstein bull semen, the
highest percentages of sperm subjective (p<0.01), CASA progressive
(p<0.001), and CASA motility (p<0.001) were found in semen diluted with
Optidyl ® . Optidyl ® extender also provided best
protection in terms of acrosome and plasma membrane integrity compared to other
extenders (p<0.001). For motility motion including VAP, VSL and LIN values,
the highest values were obtained from Optidyl and Tris (p<0.05). With respect
to, the lowest percentages of post-thaw subjective (p<0.01), CASA motility
(p<0.001) and membrane integrity (p<0.001) were obtained in the semen
samples diluted with Bioxcell ® . The percentage of progressive
motility was found to be higher in Optidyl ® than Bioxcell
® (p<0.01). The highest percentages of acrosomal and total
abnormalities were found in semen diluted with Bioxcell and Tris extenders. The
highest ALH value was obtained from Optidyl ® extender compared to
the other groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Optidyl ® extender may be
preferred rather than Bioxcell ® or Tris + egg yolk extenders for
freezing the Holstein and Brown-Swiss bull semen.]]>2010-01-01Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences1260552010-01-01051Original Article
