Doğal Akut Babesiosis'li Koyunlarda Serum Lipit Profili ve Lipoprotein Düzeylerinin İncelenmesi.

In this study, which was done to determine the lipid profile and the variations about the levels of lipoprotein in the blood of sheep naturally infected with Babesia ovis, 3-5 year old, 30 infected and 15 healthy, totally 45 Morkaraman breed sheep raised in Erciş county of Van city were used as materials. The measurement of triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL and HDL were studied by using enzymatic colorimetric method. VLDL levels were calculated by formula. The percentages of free fatty acids, triglyceride, phospholipids, cholesterol and cholesteryl esters were measured by using thin layer chromatography. In the infected group it was determined that the levels of triglyceride (P<0.001) and VLDL (P<0.001) statistically increased, but the HDL (P<0.05) decreased compared to control group. After the chromatographic determination of lipid amounts (%), in the infected group it was determined that triglyceride amount (P<0.001) statistically increased, but phospholipids (p<0.05) and cholesterol esters amounts (P<0.01) decreased compared to control group. As a result, it is said to be important that lipid levels in sheep babesiosis and lipoprotein levels are important for animals in terms of prognosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
