Parathyroid hormone-related protein and calcium concentrations in milk and blood of ewes
N Kocabagli, JL Riond, K Küng, M Wanner - Domestic animal …, 1995 - Elsevier
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) and calcium (Ca) concentrations were
measured 2 to 3 months postpartum in milk and plasma or serum of 22 ewes by the use of
commercial radioimmunoassay kits for PTHrP concentration, colorimetry for serum total Ca
concentration (Catot), and atomic absorption spectrophotometry for milk total Ca
concentration. Scatter plots did not reveal dependency between milk Ca and Catot, Catot
and plasma PTHrP, milk Ca and milk PTHrP, and milk PTHrP and plasma PTHrP. Thus, the …
