  • Title: Serum proteins in healthy Basenjis and Basenjis with chronic diarrhea.
    Author: Breitschwerdt EB, Barta O, Waltman C, Hubbert NL, Pourciau SS, Liu W.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1983 Feb; 44(2):326-8. PubMed ID: 6187250.
    Abstract:
    A serologic survey was conducted to characterize the electrophoretic patterns of serum proteins in healthy Basenji dogs (n = 137) and Basenjis with chronic diarrhea (n = 32). Serum protein electrophoresis values for Basenjis were similar to previously reported values from dogs of other breeds. Dogs with histologically confirmed lymphocytic-plasmacytic enteritis had a statistically significant (P less than 0.05) decrease in total protein, albumin, and albumin/globulin ratio. alpha 2-Globulin and gamma-globulin values were significantly increased in old dogs (9 years of age or older) with lymphocytic-plasmacytic enteritis. Although not statistically significant, gamma-globulin values were generally increased in Basenjis with lymphocytic-plasmacytic enteritis when compared with the values in age-matched clinically healthy Basenjis.
