Agarose-gel electrophoresis was used to study isoamylases in tissues and sera of healthy dogs and the sera of dogs with experimentally induced acute pancreatitis. Three or 4 isoamylases were found in the serum of healthy dogs; they were numbered 1 to 4 with respect to their degree of anodal migration. Peak 4 isoamylase, the slowest migrating (most cathodal), was the major isoamylase fraction in sera and tissues of healthy dogs. Peak 3 was identified as a pancreas-specific isoamylase. Absolute total serum amylase and total isoamylase concentrations increased significantly in dogs with pancreatitis compared with values for control dogs (sham-operated). The relative increase in peak 3 isoamylase was greater than that seen with total amylase or the other isoamylases. The decrease in total serum amylase and isoamylase concentrations paralleled each other; however, peak 3 remained proportionally high longer than did total amylase and the other isoamylase fractions. These findings indicate that measurement of peak 3 isoamylase concentrations may be of diagnostic value in dogs with suspected pancreatitis with normoamylasemia and in dogs with extrapancreatic hyperamylasemia.  相似文献

Isoamylases in normal canine sera were separated on cellulose acetate membranes using a discontinuous buffer system without EDTA. Four peaks of amylase activity were present in 17 of 24 sera. Normal values were established. The majority of activity was present in Peak 4 (cathodal isoamylase). Tissue extracts of pancreas, duodenum, kidney, lung, testis, spleen and uterus-ovaries contained Peak 4 isoamylase. Liver and salivary gland lacked all isoamylase activity. Pancreas contained Peak 3 in addition to Peak 4 isoamylase. A tissue origin for Peaks 1 and 2 was not identified. An overall lack of resolution resulted from the inclusion of EDTA in the electrophoresis buffer system. This may account for previous findings suggesting that pancreatic amylase is not present in normal canine serum. An increase in the Peak 3 isoamylase was present in dogs with pancreatitis while dogs with pancreatic atrophy had a decrease in all isoamylases. Total amylase activity was significantly (p < 0.05) decreased in dogs with pancreatic atrophy.  相似文献

Serum isoamylases were determined prospectively in dogs with pancreatic and extrapancreatic diseases. Mean serum isoamylase determinations were significantly different (p less than 0.05) between normal dogs and dogs with pancreatitis and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. The sensitivity of serum isoamylase determination exceeded that of total amylase activity for the diagnosis of pancreatitis. Serum isoamylase determinations were less influenced by extrapancreatic diseases compared to total amylase activity when used in the diagnosis of pancreatic disease. Neither serum isoamylase determination nor total amylase activity had adequate sensitivity to support their use in the diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. There were significant (p less than 0.05) linear correlations between isoamylase determinations, total amylase activity, and trypsin-like immunoreactivity concentration.  相似文献

Estimations were made of the serum isoamylase values of normal dogs and of dogs with confirmed exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. A statistically significant difference was demonstrated between the two groups in respect of the values of one of the isoamylase fractions measured. Further study has confirmed that canine salivary tissue lacks amylase activity and that the source of the isoamylase fractions was the pancreas.This knowledge has potential value in the diagnosis of canine exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.  相似文献

The contribution of the pancreas to the plasma activities of amylase, isoamylase, lipase and the concentration of trypsin-like immunoreactivity (TLI) in the dog was examined by measuring the activities of these enzymes before and after total pancreatectomy. Pancreatectomy was followed by a decrease in the concentration of TLI (from 6.2 +/- 0.3 micrograms litre-1 to 1.2 +/- 0.3 micrograms litre-1; P less than 0.001) and activity of isoamylase peak 4 (from 1257 +/- 105 iu litre-1 to 894 +/- 171 iu litre-1; P less than 0.05). Though significantly reduced, the activities of peak 4 isoamylase were still within the normal range for control dogs. Pancreatectomy did not significantly alter the activities of amylase, lipase or isoamylase peaks 1, 2 and 3. These findings provide strong evidence that the pancreas is not the sole source of circulating amylase, isoamylase and lipase activities. In contrast the marked reductions in TLI to values close to the limits of assay sensitivity suggest that TLI is derived from the pancreas alone. The results indicate that assay of circulating TLI provides a more sensitive and specific indicator of pancreatic exocrine mass than plasma amylase, lipase or isoamylase activities.  相似文献

Serum amylase and isoamylase values were determined in three groups of dogs. The first group contained control dogs while the other groups contained dogs with confirmed exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and diabetes mellitus respectively. The trypsin-like immunoreactivity test was also carried out on sera from dogs with exocrine pancreatic disease (EPI). A significant difference was detected in the serum amylase values between the three groups which may be of limited diagnostic value. Dogs with EPI had values lower than normal while those with diabetes mellitus had values higher than control dogs. No evidence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency was found in dogs with diabetes mellitus.  相似文献

The total alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity and the pattern of its isoenzymes were studied in the tissues and sera of normal adult dogs. Small intestine mucosa showed the greatest total AP activity followed by kidney, bone, pancreas, liver, lung, skeletal muscle and heart muscle. After separation by agarose gel electrophoresis, each tissue showed only one isoenzyme except lung which showed two. The tissue isoenzymes, in decreasing order of migration distance towards the anode, were as follows: fast lung isoenzyme, liver or slow lung isoenzyme, the group consisting of skeletal muscle, bone, small intestine and pancreas isoenzymes and, finally, the kidney isoenzyme. Two isoenzymes occurred in serum. The major band corresponded to liver and the slow lung isoenzyme, while the minor band was considered to be the corticosteroid-induced isoenzyme, previously thought to be absent from normal serum.The AP isoenzyme patterns in lung and skeletal muscle and the presence of an isoenzyme migrating an identical distance to the corticosteroid-induced isoenzyme do not appear to have been reported before in normal dogs.  相似文献

The total activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and the percentage distribution of its isoenzymes in the tissues and sera of clinically normal adult dogs are presented. Total LDH activity was greatest in skeletal muscle followed by heart muscle, kidney, small intestinal mucosa, liver, lung, pancreas and bone. Each tissue had a unique isoenzyme pattern and the proportions of the isoenzymes in serum suggested that liver is the source of normal serum LDH. The tissue isoenzyme patterns were similar to those obtained by other authors in human beings, horses, cattle, sheep and cats although in liver, differences between ruminants and monogastric animals including dogs were evident. The data presented provide a basis for the interpretation of serum LDH isoenzyme patterns in canine disease.  相似文献

Total serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity is the product of the combined activity of isoenzymes from a number of tissue sources. In this study, a commercially available kit for electrophoretic separation of ALP isoenzymes in an agarose gel was used to separate ALP isoenzymes in feline tissue extracts and serum. Five separate bands of ALP activity were identified. These bands were numbered 1 to 5 with band 1 having the most anodal migration. The tissue of origin corresponding to the migration position of the isoenzymes are as follows: Band 3 was the liver isoenzyme, band 4 was the bone isoenzyme and ALP isoenzymes of both intestine and kidney migrate in the position labelled band 5. Band 1 appears to be related to albumin and does not represent true ALP activity. The tissue source of band 2 (a and b) was not identified. Serum ALP activity of mature, healthy cats is primarily of liver origin. Immature cats (< 1 year of age) have a greater proportion of the bone isoenzyme in the serum.  相似文献

The effects of dexamethasone on the pancreas and on pancreatic amylase and lipase activities were determined in clinically normal dogs and in dogs with neurologic disease. Dexamethasone increased serum lipase activity without any histologic damage to the pancreas in either group of dogs. It decreased serum amylase activity in the normal dogs and had a variable effect in dogs with neurologic disease, with or without confirmed pancreatitis. It was suggested that high serum lipase activity in dexamethasone-treated dogs may not be attributable to pancreatitis and that the reasons are still unknown. It was concluded that high serum lipase activity is an unreliable basis for diagnosis of pancreatitis in dogs treated with dexamethasone. The data allowed no conclusion about an additive effect of dexamethasone and neurologic disease causing pancreatitis.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Serum total alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity commonly is high in dogs receiving phenobarbital. Specific isoenzymes responsible for this increase are not well documented. OBJECTIVES: The purposes of this study were 1) to qualitatively and quantitatively describe serum AP isoenzymes in phenobarbital-treated dogs and 2) to monitor changes in serum AP isoenzyme activities associated with phenobarbital treatment over time. METHODS: Serum AP isoenzyme activities were determined in a cross-sectional study of 29 dogs receiving phenobarbital (duration of treatment 2 months to 6.5 years). Additionally, in a prospective study of 23 dogs, serum AP isoenzyme activities were determined before and 3 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after the start of phenobarbital treatment. Isoenzyme activities were quantitatively determined using wheat germ lectin precipitation and levamisole inhibition, and qualitatively (ie, present or absent) evaluated using cellulose acetate affinity electrophoresis. RESULTS: In phenobarbital-treated dogs with high serum total AP activity in the cross-sectional study, the increase was due predominantly to increased activities of the corticosteroid-induced (C-AP) and liver (L-AP) isoenzymes. Prospectively, serum total AP and L-AP activities were significantly higher at 3 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after the start of phenobarbital treatment compared with pretreatment values. Serum C-AP and bone isoenzyme (B-AP) activities were significantly higher after 6 and 12 months of treatment. B-AP accounted for only a small amount of the total AP activity. No unusual or previously unidentified AP isoenzymes were identified. CONCLUSIONS: Phenobarbital treatment was associated with increased C-AP and L-AP isoenzyme activities and with a minor increase in B-AP activity. No unique "phenobarbital-induced" isoenzyme was identified. Isoenzyme analysis does not appear to be useful for differentiating between high serum total AP due to phenobarbital therapy and other causes.  相似文献

To determine the usefulness of information provided by measurement of serum amylase activity in the evaluation of dogs for pancreatitis, the relationship of amylase activity to lipase activity in 713 paired serum samples was investigated by statistical analysis. Little change in mean amylase concentration was found until lipase values exceeded 800 U/L. The ranges of amylase activity (mean +/- 2 SD) were essentially the same for dogs with no pancreatitis (0 to 100 U of lipase activity/L) as for dogs with a high probability for the disease (700 to 799 U of lipase activity/L), 0 to 4,029 U/L and 857 to 4,869 U/L, respectively. Pathologic findings from biopsy and necropsy reports from 92 dogs for which serum lipase determinations were done indicated that serum lipase increased not only with pancreatitis, but also with other medical problems, such as renal and hepatic disease. It was concluded that determination of serum amylase activity without knowledge of serum lipase activity was of little value to diagnose pancreatitis. High amylase activity was not specific for pancreatitis and low amylase activity could not rule out the disease. The results of this study also showed that low serum lipase values almost always eliminated the possibility of pancreatitis and that high values were often, but not always, diagnostic for pancreatitis.  相似文献

The rates of disappearance of intravenously injected amylase and lipase were determined in dogs before and after ligation of the renal vessels. Functional nephrectomy increased the half life of serum amylase from 5 to 14 hours and of serum lipase from 2 to 11 hours. Serum amylase values increased relatively little in dogs with a functional nephrectomy when enzymes were not infused. The increase in serum amylase activity was not correlated to the increase in serum urea nitrogen. The canine kidney was responsible for the disappearance of part of the amylase and lipase from the serum. Only trace amounts of either amylase or lipase activity were found in the urine. It is assumed the canine kidney inactivated these enzymes.  相似文献

A dog histopathologically diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) showed very high serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. A supernatant of ascitic fluid and tumor tissue extracted from the dog also showed much higher ALP activity than normal. ALP isoenzyme analysis of samples was performed using polyacrylamide gel disk electrophoresis, and a wide, broad abnormal band was observed. By various treatments, the abnormal band showed thermostability, which is a characteristic of tumor-associated ALP that has only been reported in humans. The thermostable ALP isoenzyme was not found in sera from 39 dogs with several types of tumor that originated from the liver, except for HCC, nor was it found in 10 dogs with hepatic diseases that did not include hepatic tumors. The thermostable ALP isoenzyme seemed to be associated with canine HCC.  相似文献

Serum amylase activity was analyzed chromogenically (blue starch method) and its isoenzyme was separated by cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis in newborn pigs comparing with those in adult pigs. Serum amylase activity in newborn pigs was about one half of adults' and increased with age. Serum amylase isoenzymes were separated into 4 fractions from the cathode. The isoenzymes were also classified in 5 types on the basis of the combination of these 4 fractions. Incidences of the fractions and the types were not significantly different between adults and newborns. After the iron dextran treatment, serum amylase activity as well as levels of erythrocytes, hemoglobin and packed cell volume increased. The rates of increase in hemoglobin and packed cell volume were more significant in the double treatment group than in the single treatment group, while serum amylase activity increased similarly in these 2 groups. The increase in serum amylase activity seemed to indicate that the development of amylase-producing organs was reinforced by the iron compound treatment. It is thought that serum amylase activity may be an indicator of healthy growth in newborn pigs.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether telomerase activity was present in lymph nodes, buffy coat, and serum samples from dogs with malignant lymphoma (ML) and in liver, lymph node, buffy coat, and serum samples from clinically normal dogs SAMPLE POPULATION: Tissue specimens and blood samples were obtained from 11 clinically normal adult dogs (age range, 1 to 4 years) and 14 client-owned dogs with ML. PROCEDURE: The telomere repeat amplification protocol assay was used to quantify telomerase activity in the tissues from clinically normal dogs and dogs with ML. RESULTS: Of 11 clinically normal dogs, 8 had lymph node samples, 5 had liver samples, and 1 had buffy coat samples with detectable telomerase activity. None of the serum samples from the clinically normal dogs had detectable telomerase activity. Of 14 dogs with ML, 9 had lymph node samples, 3 had buffy coat samples, and 1 had serum samples with measurable telomerase activity. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Telomerase activity was not specific to tumor cells and overlapped with that found in cells from clinically normal dogs. Telomerase activity in neoplastic lymph nodes was not substantially different from that found in lymph nodes from clinically normal dogs. The determination of telomerase activity cannot be used as a sole diagnostic test for cancer. Therapeutic modalities directed toward the telomerase enzyme may not be feasible in dogs, because somatic tissues from clinically normal dogs possess variable amounts of telomerase activity.  相似文献

The normal activities of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase isoenzymes in the tissues and serum of clinically normal five-and-a-half-month-old lambs are presented. The percentage distribution of the lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes in serum, liver, heart, lung and skeletal muscle were in agreement with previous studies but the distribution in ovine abomasum, small intestine, large intestine and red blood cells has not been previously described. Up to five creatine kinase isoenzymes were detected in ovine tissues and four in serum. One creatine kinase isoenzyme present in serum and tissues was thought to represent a mitochondrial isoenzyme which is absent from the normal serum of other species. Estimations of both lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase isoenzymes allowed all the tissues examined to be distinguished and were therefore more likely to allow tissue-specific isoenzyme patterns to be detected in serum than the estimation of the isoenzymes of either enzyme alone.  相似文献

Sera of several canine patients contained an isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) that resembled intestinal ALP with respect to heat inactivation, L-phenylalanine inhibition, and sensitivity to anti-canine intestinal ALP antibody, but differed with regard to the electrophoretic migration. The electrophoretic mobility of the isoenzyme was slightly cathodal than that of hepatic ALP, and its migration was reduced, similar to that of hepatic isoenzyme after neuraminidase treatment. This isoenzyme, which could be corticosteroid induced, was in the sera of numerous dogs with hepatobiliary disorders and was different from the hepatic isoenzyme that appeared in the sera of dogs with acute hepatitis, based on anti-canine intestinal ALP antibody interaction, heat inactivation, and electrophoretic migration.  相似文献
