Serum zinc and vitamin A concentrations in calves with dermatophytosis

Bu çalışmada, dermatofitozisli buzağılarda serum çinko ve vitamin A konsantrasyonlarının belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Çalışmada, 12 adet sağlıklı ve 12 adet dermatofitozisli buzağı kullanıldı. Serum çinko konsantrasyonları ticari kit kullanılarak spektrofotometrede belirlendi. Serum vitamin A konsantrasyonları spektrofotometrik yöntemle belirlendi. Seum çinko ve vitamin A konsantrasyonları dermatofitozisli buzağılarda sağlıklı kontrol grubundan önemli derecede düşük bulundu (P

Dermatofitozisli buzağılarda serum çinko ve vitamin A konsantrasyonları

The aim of this study was to determine the zinc and vitamin A concentrations in calves with dermatophytosis. Twelve calves infected with dermatophytosis and twelve clinically healthy calves were used in this study. Serum zinc concentrations were determined on a spectrophotometer using commercial kit. Serum vitamin A concentrations were measured spectrophotmeterically. Serum zinc and vitamin A concentrations were found to be significantly lower in calves with dermatophytosis than those of healthy controls. Our results shown that serum zinc and vitamin A concentrations were altered in calves with dermatophytosis.
