AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the connections between serum diamine oxidase (DAO) activity, postnatal age, and plasma copper (Cu) levels in calves with and without diarrhea.
- Healthy calves showed significantly higher serum DAO activity at 2 days old compared to those 7 days or older, with no meaningful changes after that age.
- Diarrheic calves had lower serum DAO activity compared to healthy ones, but plasma Cu levels stayed normal across all calves.
Article Abstract
The aim of study was to investigate the relationships among serum diamine oxidase (DAO) activity, postnatal days and the plasma copper (Cu) concentration, using calves with or without diarrhea. In healthy calves, the serum DAO activity was significantly higher at 2 postnatal days than at ≥7 postnatal days, and no significant changes were observed after 7 postnatal days. In addition, no significant correlation was found between serum DAO activity and plasma Cu concentration at all postnatal days in healthy calves. Although, the serum DAO activity in 14 diarrheic calves (66.78 ± 14.37 IU/ml) was lower than that in 19 healthy calves (170.33 ± 97.83 IU/ml, P<0.01), plasma Cu concentrations in all calves remained within the normal range.
