For this purpose, mate and female Pointers, German Shepherd Dogs (GSD) and Kangal Dogs which were equal numbers for per breeds were used, and investigated parameters were compared acording to differences of sex and breeds. The required blood was drawn from vena jugularis and the serum was obtained. There were no significant differences in all of the investigated parameters between male and female in the dogs. The serum total triiodothyronine level was lower amounts in the GSD (mean 28.5 kg body weight) and Kangal dogs (mean 30.2 kg body weight) which were admitted the large breeds, when compared to the Pointers (mean 19 8 kg body weigh!) which is admitted the medium breed. Although, it was not determined significant differences at the levels of total thyroxine, glucose and total cholesterol among the three breeds ol dogs On the other hand, it was generally found that significant positive correlation between serum thyroid hormones and glucose levels, and negative correlation between thyroid hormones and total cholesterol levels. http://eurasianjvetsci.org/pdf.php3?id=274 Dogthyroid hormonesglucosetotal cholesterol eng Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences 1309-6958 2146-1953 0000-00-00 17 4 9 19 275 article H Zafer H 1 Hüseyin Hadımli 1 Osman Erganış 1 Selçuk Üniversitesi, Veteriner Fakültesi, Mikrobiyoloji Anabılım Dalı, Kampüs-KONYAThe aim of the study was to investigate autogenous Staphylococcus aureus vaccines in control of mastitis in dairy cows. Selected strains of S. aureus isolated from both clinical and subclinical cases were used to prepare autogenous S. aureus vaccines (bacterin and bacterin + toxoid) in aluminium hydroxide or mineral oil adjuvants.

Experimental studies were earned out on a total 27 animals (pregnant for 7-8 months 15 dry cows and 12 heifers). Autogenous S aureus vaccines were administered to cows by subcutaneous route in the area of supramammary lymph node or intramuscular route to semitendinous muscle. In comparison with control groups, antibody levels to staphytoccal antigens, and to the α- and (&beta;- haemolisines were significanlty higher (P<0 001, P<0,05 and P<0.05, respectively) in the sera and whey from vaccinated cows. The average somatic cell couni in the milk samples of vaccinated cows were also found to be significantly less (P<0.05) than nonvaccinated cows The ratio for the S. aureus mastitis in a lactating period, in dry cows vaccinated bacterin and combined vaccines was 12,5 % and 8.3 %. respectively, 15.6 % in nonvaccinated dry cows.

Noradrenalin (100 mikro mo! (nM)) applied in perfusion solution depolarized the resting potantial by 26.1 ±4.1 rnV (n=5). In some cells, noradrenalin caused the resting potential to shift further in depolarized potentials, resulting in being spontaneously silent. The study of voltage clamp using ramp voltage protocol indicated that potassium current decreased.
