Presence of ketones in the serum of Trypanosoma evansi infected camels (Camelus dromedarius) in the Sudan.

One hundred serum and two urine samples collected from camels (Camelus dromedarius) were analysed at the Eastern State Veterinary Research Laboratory, Kassala, Sudan, for the presence of ketones. All fifty sera from trypanosome infected camels gave positive results. Fourty five out of the fifty serum samples of trypanosome negative camels showed negative results. The five positive samples were also positive with the mercuric chloride test.

Solubility of copper and zinc containing proteins before and after 2-mercaptoethanol treatment of liver samples from normal and from chronically copper poisoned sheep.

The distribution between cytosol and pellet of Cu- and Zn-containing proteins was studied in livers from normal sheep and sheep with chronic copper poisoning (CCP). It was found that the relative amount of soluble Cu- and Zn-containing proteins was lower in liver homogenates from CCP sheep than in homogenates from normal sheep. Treatment of homogenate from the livers of 2-mercaptoethanol (ME) increased the solubility of Cu- and Zn-containing proteins, especially in CCP sheep. Oxidation of the liver homogenates from normal sheep with air oxygen gave a decrease in the relative amount of soluble CU-containing proteins and an increase in Zn-containing proteins present in the cytosol. It is proposed that oxidation in vivo of Cu and/or the metal-binding protein causes the observed decrease in soluble CU- and Zn-containing proteins seen in CCP sheep.
