Abstract

There are many studies exploring the topic of acute phase response and oxidative status in inflammationofthemammaryglandofcows. However, many phenomena are relatively poorly understood. Mastitis is associated with significantly higher concentrations of inflammatory and oxidative mediators in the cells and blood. Results of experiments have shown that there are evident changes in serum interleukins (IL), acidglycoprotein (alpha1AG), tumour necrosis factor (TNF), and haptoglobin (Hp). Thus, local and systemic inflammation might play important roles in increased mammary oxidative stress. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases, including mastitis and in transgenic technology leading to the production of new bacterial proteins, which is very important in the prevention of mastitis. An interaction has also been observed between inflammatory and oxidative mediators. These results suggest an important role played by the acute phase response and oxidative status in inflammation of the mammary gland.
