Investigation of Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid Levels in Goats with Pregnancy Toxemia

Öz:
This study aimed to determine beta hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA), vitamin B12, folate and glucose levels in Aleppo goats with pregnancy toxemia and to reveal their relationship with the disease. The study included 54 Aleppo goats ranging in age from one to four years old and in the last six weeks of pregnancy. Clinical examinations and BHBA measurements of all goats were performed. Goats are divided into 3 different groups based on their blood β-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) as follows: non-ketonemic (<0.8 mmol/L, n= 15), moderate hyperketonemic (0.8-1.6 mmol/L, n= 13) and severe hyperketonemic (>1.6 mmol/L, n= 26). While no significant difference was found between the non-ketonemic group and moderate hyperketonemic group in BHBA concentration (P>0.05), a significant difference was found between the non-ketonemic group and the severe hyperketonemic group (P<0.001). The difference in vitamin B12 concentration between the 3 groups was significant (P<0.005). There was no significant difference between the 3 groups in terms of folate and glucose values (P>0.05). In the correlation graph between the variables in goats with pregnancy toxemia, a positive correlation was observed between BHBA concentration and vitamin B12 (r=0.392, P<0.05) and glucose (r=0.394, P<0.05). In addition, a positive correlation was observed between vitamin B12 value and folate (r=0.206, P<0.05) and glucose (r=0.323, P<0.05). In conclusion, our results suggest that hyperketonemia associated with serum B12 and glucose concentrations. Future studies are needed to understand the underlying mechanism of B12 increase in goats with pregnancy toxemia.

Gebelik Toksemisi Olan Keçilerde Vitamin B12 ve Folik Asit Düzeylerinin Araştırılması

Öz:
Bu çalışmada gebelik toksemili halep keçilerinde beta hidroksi butirik asit (BHBA), vitamin B12, folat ve glikoz seviyeleri belirlenip hastalık ile ilişkisinin ortaya konulması amaçlandı. Bu amaçla tahmini gebeliğin son 6 haftasında bulunan, 1-4 yaş aralığında toplam 54 Halep keçisi çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tüm keçilerin klinik muayeneleri ve BHBA ölçümleri yapıldı. Keçiler kan β-hidroksibütirat (BHBA) değerlerine göre ketonemik olmayan (<0.8 mmol/L, n= 15), orta derecede hiperketonemik (0.8-1.6 mmol/L, n= 13) ve şiddetli hiperketonemik (>1.6 mmol/L, n= 26) olarak sınıflandırıldı. BHBA değerinde ketonemik olmayan grup ile orta derecede hiperketonemik grup arasında anlamlı fark bulunamazken (P>0.05), ketonemik olmayan grup ile şiddetli hiperketonemik grup arasında anlamlı fark tespit edildi (P<0.001). Vitamin B12 konsantrasyonu üç grup arasındaki fark anlamlı tespit edildi (P<0.005). Folate ve glukoz konsantrasyonu ise 3 grup arasındaki fark anlamlı bulunmadı (P>0.05). Gebelik toksemisi olan keçilerde değişkenler arasındaki korelasyon grafiğinde BHBA konsantrasyonu ile vitamin B12 (r=0.392, P<0.05) ve glikoz (r=0.394, P<0.05) arasında pozitif korelasyon gözlendi. Ayrıca vitamin B12 konsantrasyonu ile folat (r=0.206, P<0.05) ve glikoz (r=0.323, P<0.05) arasında pozitif korelasyon gözlendi. Sonuç olarak, elde edilen bulgular hiperketoneminin serum B12 ve glukoz konsantrasyonları ile ilişkili olduğunu düşündürmektedir. Gebelik toksemisi olan keçilerde B12 yüksekliğinin altında yatan mekanizmayı anlamak için ilave çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.
