The role of pentraxin 3 and cathepsin B levels in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the levels of cathepsin B and pentraxin 3 in maternal serum of pregnant women with preeclampsia in the second trimester, to ascertain the impact of these levels on maternal and fetal outcomes, and to present a comprehensive analysis of the combined effects of cathepsin B and pentraxin 3 levels.

Methods: This prospective case-control study was conducted at Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022. The study included 78 pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia and 78 healthy pregnant women in the second trimester, between the ages of 18 and 45.

Fatty acid profile and sensory properties of lamb meat from males of five indigenous breeds.

The objective of this study was to determine meat quality characteristics, fatty acid profiles, and sensory characteristics of 50 single-birth male lambs from five breeds: Artlı ( ), Çepni ( ), Hemşin ( ), Karayaka ( ), and Of ( ). At the beginning of the experiment, the average age and weight of the lambs were 120   5 d and 30.7   0.

Determining Potential Feed Value and Silage Quality of Guar Bean () Silages.

This study was carried out to determine the effects of some additives on the potential nutritional value and silage quality of guar bean (Cluster bean = ) silages. It was hypothesized that the use of cereal grains, molasses and ecomass will reduce silage fermentation pH by increasing lactic acid production and positively improve CP content and silage quality. Four different silage groups were established; (control, grain (5%), molasses (10%) and ecomass+molasses (10%+5%)).
