The Impact of Negative Energy Balance in Holstein-Friesian Cows on the Blood Concentrations of Interleukin-6 and Plasminogen.

Abstract

Background/Objectives: The negative energy balance activaties of spontaneous lipolysis. This may promotes inflammation within the adipose tissue. The aim of the study was to explain the development of inflammation during increased lactogenesis. It was hypothesized that lipolysis contributes synthesis of interleukin-6 and plasminogen. Methods: The study was in production conditions carried out using Holstein-Friesian cows. The period studied covered time of early lactation. Results: Up to the peak of lactation, milk yield strongly influenced the rate of loss of body condition. This had an impact on with the intensity of the release of the fatty acids. In both cases this relationships strengthened to the peak of production. Oobserved tendencies towards a decrease in the concentration of glucose and an increase in that of leptin. Loss of the body condition and the release of NEFA were were influencing to affect the blood concentrations of interleukin-6 and plasminogen. We have shown that IL-6 has a relatively strong correlation with the NEFA. They correlate with IL-6 independently of EB influence. This may suggest independent associations between these variables, which could potentially be applied in practice. Conclusions: The NEFA release in the long term can increase the inflammatory response within adipose tissue and can intensify the release of interleukin-6 and plasminogen. It is likely that in the initial stage of lactogenesis, the inflammatory process developing within adipose tissue is physiologically justified. Our results can provide background to this little-described area of research.
