(Medwell online, 2009) Tanritanir, Pinar; Dede, Semiha; Ceylan, Ebubekir
The aim of this study, was to evaluate the changes of electrolytes (Na, K), minerals (Ca, Mg, P, Fe) and some parameters related to mineral metabolism (iron binding capacity, Transferrin, Ferritin, Folate, Vitamin B-12), just before and after parturition, in healthy Siirt hair goats. For this aim, 10, healthy, 2-4 years old, female Siirt hair goats, were used as material. The blood samples were collected I week before and after parturition. The levels of Na, K, Ca, Mg, of blood serum did not change with gestation. P, Fe, IBC, transferrin, ferritin, vitamin B-12 and folate concentrations increased after parturition (p<0.05). It was found out, in this study that iron especially and protein levels related to iron had significant differences before and after parturition in a short time.

(Parlar Scientific Publications (p S P), 2013) Oto, Gokhan; Ekin, Suat; Celikezen, Fatih Caglar; Yener, Zabit; Tanritanir, Pinar; Ozdeinir, Hulya; Bayramoglu, Mahire
This study was designed to examine cytoprotective effects of boric acid and CoQ(10) on a model of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis. A total of 32 female Wistar albino rats (200-250 g, n=8) were randomly divided into four groups (control, bleomycin, bleomycin + boric acid, and bleomycin + boric acid + CoQ(10)). Rats in the control group were given equal volumes of saline intratracheally. Lung fibrosis was induced by intratracheal administration of bleomycin hydrochloride (7.5 mg/kg in 0.9% NaCl) to rats under anaesthesia. In the treatment groups, the rats were treated with boric acid (10 mg/kg per day; perorally) and CoQ(10) (4 mg/kg per day; intraperitoneally) for 30 days. All animals were sacrificed at the end of the experiment. The lung, liver, kidney, and spleen tissues were excised, taken for histopathological evaluation, and stored for the measurement of SOD and GSH-Px activities with trace element and minerals. As a result, boric acid and boric acid + CoQ(10) had preventive roles on bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis in rats.

(Humana Press inc, 2014) Ragbetli, Cennet; Dede, Semiha; Tanritanir, Pinar; Yoruk, Ibrahim Hakki; Ragbetli, Murat Cetin
This study aims to research the effect of streptozotocin (STZ) at different doses on the serum micronutrients and oxidative stress status in diabetic rat models. Twenty male rats averaged 250 g and 3-4 months old were used as experimental models. They were put in four groups composed of five rats each. Diabetic was induced by administering STZ 55 and 65 mg/kg intraperitonally. The serum micronutrients including minerals and vitamins (Cu, Zn, Mg, Fe, vitamins D, E, and C) and oxidative stress (malondialdehyde, MDA) were determined. Cu, Zn, and Vitamin D3 levels were found to increase significantly in STZ groups (p < 0.005). Retinol levels decreased significantly in STZ groups (p < 0.005). In the groups administered 55 mg/kg STZ ferrum and vitamin C levels were found significantly lower than the other groups (p < 0.005). In the group given 65 mg/kg STZ a-tocopherol levels were highest (p < 0.005) among other groups. There was not any difference between the groups for MDA, Cu/Zn, and Mg. For both doses, oxidative stress status was not significantly affected within 48 h of the application, however, some micronutritents were affected significantly.

(int Soc Fluoride Research, 2014) Aydin, Nese; Dede, Semiha; Tanritanir, Pinar
The aim of this study was to investigate the metabolism of certain minerals (calcium, copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and zinc) in bone, tooth, and gum tissues in sheep with fluorosis. Ten sheep with fluorosis were compared to 10 non-fluorotic control sheep. In the bone, in the fluorosis group, the level of copper decreased significantly (p<0.03) while the levels of the other minerals were unchanged. In the teeth, in the fluorosis group, the level of calcium increased (p<0.01) and decreases occurred in the levels of magnesium.(p<0.05), zinc (p<0.05) and manganese (p<0.01). In the gums, in the fluorosis group, the calcium and manganese levels were significantly higher (p<0.01) and the magnesium level was significantly lower (p<0.05). No differences were found in the, levels of phosphorus in the bone, tooth, or gum tissues. In conclusion, the bone, tooth, and gum tissue levels of several minerals with important structural or trace element catalytic functions, were found to be altered in sheep affected by chronic fluorosis.

(Natl veterinary Research inst, 2007) Bingol, N. Tugba; Tanritanir, Pinar; Dede, Semiha; Ceylan, Ebubekir
Eight private farms as groups were used in the study. Each group contained randomly selected ten goats. These animals were fed forage and concentrated feed. Serum glucose, total protein.. albumin, globulin, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, and ALP (alkaline phosphatase), ALT (alanine -amino transferase), AST (aspartate amino transferase), GGT (gamma-glutamyl transferase), and LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) activities were analysed. There were no correlations between glucose, ALP, AST, GGT and feed total aflatoxin (AF) concentrations. There were positive correlations between feed AF and LDH activities (P < 0.01), between feed AF and milk aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) (P < 0.01). On the other hand, there was a negative correlation (P < 0.01) between feed AF and total protein levels were also present. There was negative correlation between ALT concentration (P < 0.05) and AF in feed. There was negative correlation between concentrations of albumin and globulin (P < 0.01) and positive correlation between triglyceride concentration (P < 0.05) and AF level in feed. It was noticed that a marked increase in the level of AFM1 in milk due to an increase in total aflatoxin levels in feeds (P < 0.01).

(Natl veterinary Research inst, 2009) Ozdal, Nalan; Tanritanir, Pinar; Goz, Yasar; Deger, Serdar; Kozat, Suleyman
This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of parasitic protozoan agents in lambs with diarrhoea in the Van province (Eastern Turkey). Faecal samples from 132 diarrhoeic lambs aged from one day to two months old were collected at 12 different herds from January 2005 to May 2005. The faecal samples were examined by using, native-Lugol, Fulleborn's salty water technique, and a Modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining technique for Cryptosporidium. The parasitological examination revealed that 98 (74.24%) of the lambs were infected with one or more of parasitic protozoan agents. Eimeria, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium were detected in 80 (60.60%), 64 (48.48%), and 18 (13.63%) of the lambs, respectively. According to statistical analysis, Eimeria sp. oocysts were significantly higher (P < 0.01) in lambs aged between 3 1 and 60 d (76.81%, 53 of 69) than in those of 16-30 d of age (50%, 21 of 42) and 1-15 d of age (28.57%, 6 of 2 1). There were significant differences in Giardia prevalance when lambs of 1-15 d of age were compared with those 16-30 d of age (P < 0.05). Statistical analysis revealed that Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts were significantly higher (P < 0.01) in lambs aged between I and 15 d (66.66%, 14 of 21) than in those of 16-30 d of age (4.76%, 2 of 42) and 31-60 d of age (2.89%, 2 of 69). Moreover, Giardia sp. and Eimeria sp. showed significant co-occurrence (34.84%). The results obtained confirmed the fact that protozoan infections are widespread in diarrhoeic lambs in this geographical region.
Plasma Levels of Zinc, Copper, Copper/Zinc Ratio, and Activity of Carbonic Anhydrase in Equine Piroplasmosis
(Humana Press inc, 2008) Dede, Semiha; Deger, Yeter; Deger, Serdar; Tanritanir, Pinar
We have determined the plasma concentrations of copper, zinc, copper/zinc ratio, and carbonic anhydrase activity in horses infected with Babesia equi. The study was conducted in 14 horses with the disease and 10 healthy animals that served as controls. The infection was confirmed by the clinical manifestations of the disease and by Giemsa staining of thin blood smears showing the parasites inside red blood cells. The horses with piroplasmosis had lower plasma levels of zinc, elevated copper, and increased activity of carbonic anhydrase. Consequently, the copper/zinc ratio was also higher than in the healthy controls.

(Univ Zagreb vet Faculty, 2016) Ozdal, Nalan; Tanritanir, Pinar; Ilhan, Fatma; Deger, Serdar
This study was carried out to estimate the prevalence, larval burden and some risk factors of ovine oestrosis in 328 heads of randomly selected sheep slaughtered in one year at Van, eastern Turkey. Of the total heads, 127 (38.71 %) were infested with Oestrus ovis (Linnaeus, 1761, Diptera: Oestridae) larvae. The prevalence of O. ovis was 51.68 % in summer, 40.69 % in spring, 35.80 % in autumn, and 23.61 % in winter. The differences between seasons were statistically significant (P<0.05). Out of a total of 511 larvae collected, 17 % were L1, 29 % L2, and 54 % L3 larvae. All three larval instars were observed in all study months, apart from the fact that no first-stage larvae were seen in December and March. The overall larval intensity for the infested sheep was 4.02, with 3.42 in spring, 3.80 in summer, 4.03 in autumn and 5.82 in winter. The infestation rates were 41.26 % in female and 34.42 % in male sheep. The infestation rate in sheep less than 2-years-old was 23.33 %, in those 2 to 4 years-old 36.42 % and inj those older than 4 years old 48.43 %. Sheep with dark head color had a higher risk than sheep with white and spotted heads (P<0.05).

(Medwell online, 2009) Tanritanir, Pinar; Ozdal, Nalan; Ragbetli, Cennet; Yoruk, Ibrahim; Ceylan, Ebubekir; Deger, Serdar
The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the blood serum concentration of some biochemical parameters and lipid-soluble vitamin levels in the goats naturaly infested with lice and Trichostrongylidae sp. before and after treatment with moxidectin and effects of moxidectin treatment on these blood parameters. In this study, 20 hair goats naturaly infected with lice (Linognathus africanus) and Trichostrongylidae sp. and 10 healthy hair goats (control) were used as material. Blood samples were collected from infested and control groups. Serum samples were seperated and analysed for biochemical parameters with autoanalyser and some vitamins with high performance liquid chromatography. Animals in infested group were treated with ecto-endoparasitic drug (moxidectin) and in 8 and 15 days after treatment blood samples were again collected to determine some vitamins and biochemical parameters. As a results, concentrations of retinol, sodium, potassium, calcium and albumin were lower (p<0.05) and activity of alanine aminotransferase was higher (p<0.05) in infected goats than in the controls. There was no statistically significant difference in the concentration of vit D-3, tocopherol, total protein, glucose and activity of aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase between infected and control group.
