Four cases of amyloidosis were recognized in a study population of 21 (19%) bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) examined as part of an investigation of the causes of cetacean strandings along the Texas Gulf Coast. Amyloid deposition was mainly and most prominently in the corticomedullary regions of the kidneys and less consistently in the vessels of the spleen, lung, and heart and around acini of the palatal salivary gland and the thyroid gland. Pretreatment of sections with permanganate and sulfuric acid greatly diminished Congo red staining, suggesting the dolphin amyloid is of the AA variety.
在对德克萨斯湾沿岸鲸类搁浅原因进行调查的一部分研究中，对21头宽吻海豚（瓶鼻海豚）进行了检查，其中发现了4例淀粉样变性病例（占19%）。淀粉样物质沉积主要且最显著地出现在肾脏的皮质髓质区域，在脾脏、肺和心脏的血管以及腭唾液腺和甲状腺的腺泡周围出现的情况较少。用高锰酸钾和硫酸预处理切片后，刚果红染色大大减弱，这表明海豚的淀粉样物质属于AA型。
