[Dynamics of urea concentration in blood cells of the domestic fowl during early post-incubation ontogenesis].

Urea was determined by means of diacetyl monoxim in the blood cells of 80 cockerels of the initial breed White Leghorn, commercial hybrid Primant. The highest urea concentration was ascertained on the 15th day of life: 392.33 +/- 85 mg per 10(12) blood cells. The content of urea in the blood cells irregularly deceased with the age of the cockerels. The minimum urea concentration was obtained on the 40th day of post-incubation life: 63.40 +/- 56.5 mg per 10(12) blood cells.

[Uric acid in the tissues and blood of chick embryos].

In the liver, kidney and skeletal muscle of the shank, blood plasma and blood cells of 90 chick embryos of the initial breed Leghorn White, commercial hybrid Primant, uric acid was found in all the intervals within the studied ontogenetic seqeuence. Uric acid was determined colorimetrically in tissue homogenate supernatant; in the blood plasma and in the blood cells it was determined colorimetrically on the 10th, 15th and 20th day of incubation. A significant rise (p less than 0.05) of this metabolite was ascertained in all the samples tested.

[Dynamics of uric acid concentration in the liver of cockerels subjected to model stress situations induced by fasting].

A model stress situation was created by nutrition deprivation. The experiment was performed with 130 cockerels of the initial breed White Leghorn. The experimental cockerels of the age of 18 to 24 days fasted for 24, 48 and 72 hours. Uric acid was determined in the supernatant of liver homogenate by means of a colorimetrically reductometric method with phospho-wolframic agent. A significant increase in the uric acid concentration in the liver of cockerels was found out during the model stress: the concentration of uric acid increased progressively from the initial 70.25 +/- 8.94 mg per 100 g to 93.15 +/- 9.66 mg per 100 g after 24-hour fasting, to 90.23 +/- 7.84 mg per 100 g after 48-hour fasting and even to 137.04 +/- 15.59 mg per 100 g after three-day fasting of 72 hours. After re-alimentation, the concentrations of uric acid were reduced to physiological values already within 24 hours.

[Circadian rhythmicity of urea concentration in the liver and blood serum of cockerels].

The circadian rhythmicity of urea concentration was studied in 70 12-day-old cockerels (the Primant commercial hybrid). Urea in the liver homogenate supernatant and in the blood serum was determined by means of diacetylmonoxim (Homolka, 1971). The cockerels were killed in four-hour intervals. Urea concentration in the liver reached its peak at 15.30 o'clock (123.36 +/- 6.32 in conversion to wet tissue or 0.308 +/- 0.01 mg of nitrogen per 100 mg). The circadian rhythmicity of uremia generally coincided with the rhythmicity of urea in the liver.

[Urea formation in kidneys of the domestic fowl in early postincubation ontogenesis].

The nitrogen secretion is not limited in any animal species to one final nitrogenous metabolite only. In the organism of uricotelic birds, besides other products, urea is produced. It was revealed that it developed also in the kidney of the domestic fowl. In the experiments with 130 cockerels of the White Leghorn breed--a commercial Primant hybrid at the age from 0 to 62 days--we determined the urea concentration in the supernatant of kidney homogenate and in the heparinized blood plasma by diacetylmonoxim according to Homolka (1971). In the kidney we observed a moderate insignificant increase of urea concentration from 0 to 62 days of post-incubation life (zero-day: 34.77 +/- 9.20 mg per 100 g; the 62nd day: 36.46 +/- 14.66 mg per 100 g). In the heparinized blood plasma the urea concentration was increased significantly from the initial values of 16.66 +/- 3.17 mg per 100 ml (zero-day) to 54.03 +/- 3.19 mg per 100 ml (the 62nd day).
