INTER-RELAÇÕES ENTRE A FUNÇÃO HEPÁTICA, LIPIDOGRAMA E OS DISTÚRBIOS INFLAMATÓRIOS DO ENDOMÉTRIO (ENDOMETRITES PUERPERAIS AGUDAS, RETENÇÃO DOS ANEXOS FETAIS E CATARROS GENITAIS) DE FÊMEAS BOVINAS DA RAÇA HOLANDESA

Abstract

Aiming to assess the relationship among hepatic function,lipid profile and endometrium inflammatory disorders (acutepostpartum endometritis, placental retention and genital catarrhaldischarges), 126 blood samples were collected from Holsteincows. Hepatic function was assessed by total serum protein,albumin, globulins, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gammaglutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) and bilirubin measurement. Lipidprofile assessment was measured by serum levels of cholesterol,triglycerides, non-esterified fatty acids and β-hydroxybutyrate.The results indicate that the albumin values of cows presentingplacental retention and chronic puerperal endometritis are lowerthan those of health cows.
