leptospirosis/glutathione

This study was designed to disclose some indicators of oxidative stress and inflammation in natural cases of bovine leptospirosis. For this purpose, 12 bulls exhibiting clinical signs of leptospirosis and 10 healthy bulls were used. Animals were subjected to thorough clinical examination and the

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease that causes severe manifestations such as Weil's disease and pulmonary hemorrhage syndrome. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant reduced glutathione (GSH) levels are related to complications in

Leptospirosis is a widespread zoonotic disease caused by Leptospira interrogans. Symptoms of disease range from mild symptoms to serious complications including, jaundice, pulmonary hemorrhage, renal and hepatic failure, which may prove fatal. Clinical presentations of this disease are

Leptospiral putative outer membrane proteins (OMPs) are likely to be essential components of more effective vaccines. Recently completed genomic sequences of Leptospira allowed us to target putative OMPs for the development of recombinant vaccines. We focused on 12 putative OMPs that had no homology

This study evaluated the seropositivity of Brucella abortus and Leptospira interrogans in ewes with reproductive disturbances in southern Brazil and verified the creatine kinase (CK) activity and oxidation status via assessment of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione

Leptospira is the etiological agent of leptospirosis, a life-threatening disease that affects human populations worldwide. Available vaccines have demonstrated limited effectiveness, and therapeutic interventions are complicated by the difficulty of establishing an early diagnosis. The genome of

There is a great deal of concern regarding the hazard potential of human exposure to toxic substances and carcinogens as well as infectious agents in the environment. For monitoring purposes fish are well established with regard to aquatic pollution. However, for the human environment, mammalian
