Histamine and Other Biogenic Amines in Food. J. Vet. Res. (IF 1.039) Pub Date : 2020-04-30 Agata Durak-Dados,Mirosław Michalski,Jacek Osek
The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the presence of biogenic amines, particularly histamine, in various food products, discuss the most important factors influencing their accumulation, and address potential toxicity and safe limits in food. Biogenic amines are natural components of animal and plant raw materials, where they are present at concentrations appearing non-harmful to human health

Characterisation of Fowl Adenovirus (FAdV-8b) Strain Concerning the Geographic Analysis and Pathological Lesions Associated with Inclusion Body Hepatitis in Broiler Flocks in Turkey. J. Vet. Res. (IF 1.039) Pub Date : 2020-04-30 Utku Yusuf Cizmecigil,Sajid Umar,Aysun Yilmaz,Erhan Bayraktar,Nuri Turan,Besim Tali,Ozge Aydin,Hasan Emre Tali,Mehmetcan Yaramanoglu,Semaha Gul Yilmaz,Ahmet Kolukisa,Jean-Remy Sadeyen,Munir Iqbal,Huseyin Yilmaz
Fowl adenovirus can cause important diseases in chickens such as inclusion body hepatitis, hepatitis hydropericardium syndrome, and gizzard erosion and ulceration. Inclusion body hepatitis has been regularly reported from many countries. This is the first case report from Turkey, describing an outbreak of inclusion body hepatitis in broiler farms due to fowl adenovirus-8b (FAdV-8b).

Nutritional Composition and Heavy Metal Content in Breast and Thigh Muscles of Wild and Intensively Reared Common Pheasants (Phasianus Colchicus). J. Vet. Res. (IF 1.039) Pub Date : 2020-04-21 Marian Flis,Eugeniusz R Grela,Grażyna Żukowska,Dariusz Gugała
Differing conditions in captive breeding and in the wild have impact on the mineral profile of the pheasant carcass and its heavy metal contents. This may be an indicator of environmental contamination. The study evaluated the nutritional composition and selected macro- and trace element contents (heavy metals in particular) in usable sections of pheasant breast and thigh muscles originating from captive

Changes in the Expression of TLR2 During the Intestinal Phase of Trichinellosis. J. Vet. Res. (IF 1.039) Pub Date : 2020-04-21 Agnieszka Wojtkowiak-Giera,Monika Derda,Elżbieta Wandurska-Nowak,Paweł P Jagodziński,Agnieszka Kolasa-Wołosiuk,Danuta Kosik-Bogacka,Edward Hadaś
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in fast activation of the immune response to a variety of pathogens, including parasites. In this study, we focused on TLR2, because this receptor is one of the best known and most frequently analysed members of the TLR family. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Trichinella spiralis on expression of TLR2 during the intestinal stage of

Cyclooxygenase-2 as a biomarker with diagnostic, therapeutic, prognostic, and predictive relevance in small animal oncology J. Vet. Res. (IF 1.039) Pub Date : 2020-03-24 Marta Szweda; Andrzej Rychlik; Izabella Babińska; Andrzej Pomianowski
In canine and feline populations, the number of neoplasm cases continues to increase around the world. Attempts are being made in centres of research to identify new biomarkers that speed up and improve the quality of oncological diagnostics and therapy in human and animal tumour patients. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a promising biomarker with increasing relevance to human oncology, but as yet with
