Methods of Dynamic Tensiometry in Assessing the Biochemical Status of Animals

Abstract

Introduction . The existing literature explores various aspects of both the method of dynamic tensiometry based on the measurement of dynamic surface tension (DST) of blood, and its use in assessing the biochemical and physiological parameters of animals. Despite the proven usefulness of DPN methods in human medicine, these methods are underestimated in modern physicochemical biology and veterinary medicine. Purpose . In this regard, the aim of the review is to describe the methodological foundations for determining the DPN of animal biological fluids, identifying its features depending on the physiological state of the organism, the biochemical composition of blood serum while improving methods for the early diagnosis of animal diseases. Materials and Methods . The materials are research articles describing blood serum samples of humans, horses and cows, analyzed by two methods of dynamic tensiometry. Results . As a result, a detailed analysis of 84 studies related both to DPN methods and their use in assessing blood parameters was carried out, which made it possible to identify correlations between DPN and biochemical blood parameters in humans, horses and cows. In addition to presenting the measurement features of different methods of dynamic tensiometry, the review of the subject field summarizes their empirically identified prerequisites and consequences in this area. Both for cows and mares, there are a large number of strong correlations between biochemical parameters and blood DPN. Conclusion . Thus, changes in blood biochemistry associated with the structural and functional development of animals in ontogeny are consistent with changes in blood DPN values, which is reflected in the magnitudes of correlations and makes it possible to apply the obtained fundamental results in practice.
