Haptoglobin (Hp), one of the major positive acute phase proteins in cattle, is released in
response to proinflammatory cytokines. Colostrum intake might influence the response of the …

The acute phase protein haptoglobin (Hp) exerts immune modulating functions in the innate
and adaptive immune system. In pigs, serum Hp concentrations are linked to impaired …

The objective of this research was to investigate factors associated with serum haptoglobin
(Hp) levels in newborn calves. In addition, the associations between serum Hp levels in …

To obtain a basal concentration of serum Haptoglobin (Hp) in cattle in Taiwan, Hp
concentrations were measured from serum samples collected from 10 healthy heifers, every …

Methods: Blood samples were collected weekly by jugular venipuncture, during the first 12
weeks post partum, from 28 multiparous Holstein Friesian cows, average age 4.64±1.23 …

The haptoglobin (Hp) concentration in blood and milk is increasingly discussed as a
diagnostic marker for bovine mastitis. This acute phase protein is mainly synthesised in the …

The acute phase glycoprotein haptoglobin (Hp) is mainly expressed in the liver and secreted
into plasma. Hp complexes with free hemoglobin thus preventing loss of iron through the …

Haptoglobin is an acute phase protein that is of diagnostic significance in dairy cattle. In the
present study, haptoglobin level was assessed during the periparturient period in 15 …

Haptoglobin (Hp), an acute phase protein mostly secreted by the liver, is an inflammatory
marker. To use the full diagnostic potential of Hp measurements for mastitis, we developed …

Among acute phase proteins, haptoglobin is considered as the most interesting in cattle.
Due to its early and marked increase in acute inflammation, it is useful for the diagnosis and …
