Abstract
In order to assess the association of cow serum haptoglobin with fatty liver, haptoglobin concentrations were evaluated by single radial immunodiffusion in sera from cows after administration of ethionine (an analogue of methionine). Haptoglobin concentrations were found to be increased in the sera of the ethionine-administered cows. This result suggests that the induction of haptoglobin is associated in the pathogenesis of fatty liver.Keywords
