Changes in serum electrolytes, osmolality, total proteins and protein fractions, lipid levels and organ function tests were determined in neonatal and 6-month-old calves infected with T. congolense TREU 112 and control calves. There were no consistent changes in electrolytes or osmolality for either age group of calves. There was a decrease in total serum protein in the infected 6-month-old calves, caused by decreases in the albumin and beta 2-globulin fractions. The total serum protein level remained constant in the infected neonatal calves, but there was a significant decrease in the albumin fraction which was compensated for by an increase in alpha-globulin and gamma-globulin fractions. Total serum lipids and cholesterol were decreased and triglyceride levels and erythrocyte phospholipid levels were significantly elevated in both age groups of infected calves. Tests of adrenal and hepatic function were not significantly different in infected calves compared to control calves of the same age group. Thyroid function tests showed that T3 was significantly elevated in infected 6-month-old calves, whereas T4 was significantly decreased in infected neonatal calves.
对感染刚果锥虫TREU 112的新生犊牛和6月龄犊牛以及对照犊牛的血清电解质、渗透压、总蛋白和蛋白组分、血脂水平及器官功能进行了检测。两个年龄组的犊牛电解质或渗透压均无持续变化。感染的6月龄犊牛血清总蛋白降低，原因是白蛋白和β2球蛋白组分减少。感染的新生犊牛血清总蛋白水平保持恒定，但白蛋白组分显著降低，α球蛋白和γ球蛋白组分增加起到了代偿作用。两个年龄组的感染犊牛血清总脂质和胆固醇均降低，甘油三酯水平和红细胞磷脂水平显著升高。与同年龄组的对照犊牛相比，感染犊牛的肾上腺和肝功能检测无显著差异。甲状腺功能检测显示，感染的6月龄犊牛T3显著升高，而感染的新生犊牛T4显著降低。
