Abstract
Atakisi, O., Atakisi, E., Pancarci, S.M. and Ozcan, A. 2009. Plasma and amniotic fluid nitric oxide level and adenosine deaminase activity in sheep. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 35: 197–199. The objective of this study was to determine nitric oxide (NO) levels and adenosine deaminase (ADA) activities in plasma of pregnant (10) and non-pregnant (10) ewes and amniotic fluid at parturition in ewes. Plasma ADA activity was highest in pregnant ewes (P<0.001), whereas, NO level was highest in amniotic fluid. This is the first study to report ADA activities and NO levels in amniotic fluid of healthy pregnant ewes at parturition. The future studies are warranted to clarify the role of ADA activities and NO levels in amniotic fluid in relation to pregnancy and parturition.
