N, Basaki M., Acute phase proteins in Japanese quail
(Coturnix coturnix
japonica) with ulcerative enteritis, Online J Vet Res., 15 (4): 395-403, 2011.
Twenty-five 3-week-old Japanese quails (Coturnix
coturnix japonica) with ulcerative enteritis were
assessed for serum concentrations of acute phase haptoglobin,
serum amyloid A protein, and
inflammatory mediators tumor necrosis factor-alpha, gamma interferon and total
lipid and protein bound sialic acid. Compared with
non-infected control birds, acute phase proteins and inflammatory mediator
concentrations were
higher (P < 0.05) in diseased birds. Total sialic acid appeared to be the
most sensitive parameter.
