Changes in tissue mineral concentrations associated with sudden-death syndrome in chickens
1Agriculture Canada, Research Station, British Columbia.
Abstract:
The relationship between mineral elements and sudden-death syndrome (SDS) in chickens was investigated. Tissue from the heart, liver, lung, and kidney was obtained from 22, male broiler chickens that had died of SDS and from 32, healthy male chickens. The samples were analyzed semiquantitatively for 68 elements by inductively coupled, plasma mass spectrometry. The differences in the concentrations of Br, Ca, Fe, Ge, Mg, Mn, P, Rb, Sr, and Zn between healthy and SDS chickens in one or more of the tissues were found to be very highly significant (P less than or equal to .0001).

Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...
