Effects of Lactose in Saline Infusion on Electrolyte Alterations in Trypanosoma vivax-Infected Cattle

Alteration of serum electrolytes (Na+, K+, Cl-, and HCO3-) was studied in Zebu cattle experimentally infected with 11.0×106 Trypanosoma vivax. Another group of similarly infected cattle was intravenously infused with lactose in normal saline, at a dose rate of 0.5g/kg body weight as a function of th...

Description
Summary:Alteration of serum electrolytes (Na+, K+, Cl-, and HCO3-) was studied in Zebu cattle experimentally infected with 11.0×106 Trypanosoma vivax. Another group of similarly infected cattle was intravenously infused with lactose in normal saline, at a dose rate of 0.5g/kg body weight as a function of the animal blood volumes of about 6-7% their body weights. Serum Na+ and Cl- concentrations showed significant (p
