Abstract

An investigation was made of systemic iron in paroxysmal (px) chicks. 2. Serum transferrin levels in px chicks are greatly increased (P less than 0.05) over control levels, but iron-binding capacity is decreased (P less than 0.05). 3. The delayed (by 10 days) increase in px hemoglobin (P less than 0.01) may be due to the general debilitation seen in px syndrome. 4. An attempt to determine brain iron showed no deposits comparable to mammalian brain iron distribution, but this was consistent with inability of others to locate iron in adult chicken brain tissue.

摘要

对患有阵发性（px）疾病的雏鸡的全身铁含量进行了调查。2. 患有px疾病的雏鸡的血清转铁蛋白水平比对照组大幅升高（P < 0.05），但铁结合能力降低（P < 0.05）。3. px血红蛋白延迟（10天）升高（P < 0.01）可能是由于px综合征中出现的全身虚弱。4. 测定脑铁的尝试未发现与哺乳动物脑铁分布相当的沉积物，但这与其他人无法在成年鸡脑组织中定位铁的情况一致。
