A number of plasma biochemical parameters were examined in five outbreaks of runting in broiler chickens. In four of the five outbreaks, runts showed consistent elevations in plasma amylase activity and reductions in glutathione peroxidase activity. In two of the five outbreaks the plasma vitamin E concentration was reduced, as was the activity of plasma alkaline phosphatase. A highly significant number of runted chickens were found to have pancreatic degeneration, elevated plasma amylase activity and reduced plasma glutathione peroxidase activity, compared with non-runted chickens. The implications of these changes are discussed in relation to the aetiology of runting and stunting syndrome and, in particular, the possible involvement of selenium.
在肉鸡的五次生长发育受阻疫情中，检测了多项血浆生化参数。在五次疫情中的四次，发育受阻的鸡只血浆淀粉酶活性持续升高，谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性降低。在五次疫情中的两次，血浆维生素E浓度降低，血浆碱性磷酸酶活性也降低。与未发育受阻的鸡相比，发现大量发育受阻的鸡存在胰腺退化、血浆淀粉酶活性升高和血浆谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性降低的情况。结合生长发育受阻综合征的病因，特别是硒可能的参与，对这些变化的影响进行了讨论。
