description: In order to investigate the change of stress-related hormones by dental occlusal reduction, we ground molars in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and evaluated the effect on hormone levels. Thirteen and 18 weeks after occlusal reduction, cortisol concentration was increased 2.75 and 2.17 fold respectively, whereas corticosterone concentration was slightly elevated by 31.2% and 13.5%, respectively. Body weight was slightly decreased, but feed and water intake, and blood chemistry were the same in the experimental group as in the control group. Our results suggest that unilateral molar occlusal reduction may influence cortisol and corticosterone levels and the endocrine system, leading to hormone imbalance through the body.

A Cultural Playdough: The Globalization of Classical Greek Art
Creators: name: Tan, Chuzheng
Publisher: name: The Ethnograph: Journal of Anthropological Studies
Year: 2023

description: This article addresses the issue of the long-lasting perspective of Hellenocentrism and its influence on archaeological interpretation. Tying different globalization theories into this research, the paper aims to demonstrate the flexible definition of the term “classical”, and extend the conversation of how to define what is “classical”. In this paper, I dissect the traditional central-peripheral, in which the Greek World is centered in the viewpoints of the ancient Mediterranean world and Near Eastern regions. This paper examines the extensive cultural exchange and reciprocity of influences from Early Iron Age to the pre-Hellenistic, Late-Classical period, using archaeological, mostly monumental, examples from the Eastern sphere of antiquity, such as the Nereid Monument and Egyptian sculptures. Further examples such as the Pazyryk carving motifs are examined and compared to its Greek counterpart, to display the influence of Greek culture. This also shows the heavy mark of local style, revealing a multi-foci network model of culture exchange rather than a dictating, single-focused model of cultural dominance. Such localizations are seen throughout the wider antique world, as it is one of the keystones of constructing a globalized past, thus assigning a new and more inclusive meaning to “Classical”.

description: We introduce a mass dependent density profile to describe the distribution of dark matter within galaxies, which takes into account the stellar-to-halo mass dependence of the response of dark matter to baryonic processes. The study is based on the analysis of hydrodynamically simulated galaxies from dwarf to Milky Way mass, drawn from the MaGICC project, which have been shown to match a wide range of disk scaling relationships. We find that the best fit parameters of a generic double power-law density profile vary in a systematic manner that depends on the stellar-to-halo mass ratio of each galaxy. Thus, the quantity Mstar/Mhalo constrains the inner ($γ$) and outer ($β$) slopes of dark matter density, and the sharpness of transition between the slopes($α$), reducing the number of free parameters of the model to two. Due to the tight relation between stellar mass and halo mass, either of these quantities is sufficient to describe the dark matter halo profile including the effects of baryons. The concentration of the haloes in the hydrodynamical simulations is consistent with N-body expectations up to Milky Way mass galaxies, at which mass the haloes become twice as concentrated as compared with pure dark matter runs. This mass dependent density profile can be directly applied to rotation curve data of observed galaxies and to semi analytic galaxy formation models as a significant improvement over the commonly used NFW profile.

description: This study was designed to evaluate the distribution of mast cells in the lung tissues of rats exposed to biomass smoke. Fifty six female Wistar albino adult rats were used. They were divided into two experimental groups (control and biomass smoke-treated), each containing 28 animals. Control rats were not exposed to the biomass smoke at any time during the experiment. Rats in the treatment group were exposed daily (one hour) to biomass smoke for 3, 6 or 9 months. Lung tissues samples were obtained under deep anesthesia from the randomly selected 7 animals in both groups. Lung tissues were fixed in Mota’s fixative (BLA) for 24 h and embedded in paraffin. Sections of 6 μm thickness were cut and stained with 0.5% toluidine blue in 0.5 N hydrochloric acid at pH 0.5 for 30 min. The numbers of mast cell in lung tissues of the animals exposed to the biomass for 6 or 9 months were significantly (P<0.05) higher than controls. This study showed that long term exposure to biomass smoke was associated with the increased number of mast cells in the lung.

The Camera as an Ethnographer in Inxeba
Creators: name: Jackart, Ian
Publisher: name: The Ethnograph: Journal of Anthropological Studies
Year: 2023

description: After the release of the film Inxeba, a film by John Trengrove, both the public and its critics displayed backlash toward the film’s display of homosexual intimacy. Many reviews claimed Inxeba depicted pornography and as a result, was deemed unacceptable for public viewing. This backlash led to Inxeba receiving an R-rating in South Africa. This paper employs an interdisciplinary analysis to discuss Inxeba as a case study of media within the South African context. The primary fields included in this analysis include media anthropology, film study, gender studies, and African studies. The paper focuses on how the camera can be used to portray understandings of masculinity as hegemonic, instead of an exploitative, revealing, and misrepresentative colonial tool. Furthermore, this paper analyzes the backlash that Inxeba faced due to the colonial imports of homophobic norms, and how the film reframes masculinity and homosexuality as entangled within Xhosa culture.

Shedding the Barbaric Stereotype Associated with Cannibalism
Creators: name: Kim, Eric
Publisher: name: The Ethnograph: Journal of Anthropological Studies
Year: 2023

description: Cannibalism, the consumption of human body parts, has been a part of important cultural traditions throughout history. Despite European perceptions of cannibalism as barbaric, it remained a common practice in many communities. In cultures such as the Aghori of India, cannibalism was common, with its members consuming human skulls and flesh. Despite the controversy behind the subject of cannibalism, it is crucial to note that cannibalism has also been observed in religious traditions, such as the Catholic Church’s practice of consuming the symbolic body and blood of Christ. The benefits of cannibalism are endless, and cultures that continue to practice it are witnesses. However, the arrival of Europeans in the New World marked a turning point in the perception of cannibalism. European perspectives on cannibalism were instrumental in reshaping the way the practice was perceived and understood. This study seeks to show how various cultures practiced cannibalism and its significance to these cultures. The study also seeks to prove that the over-simplification of cannibalism leads to many misconceptions about it and its cultural significance. Cannibalism was a way of showing love to the dead, maintaining spirituality, protecting the soul, and providing medicinal benefits.

An important advantage of such a scheme is that there is no need for the thermometer to acquire thermal equilibrium with the sample. This reduces measurement times and avoids precision limitations. We also review how such methods can be used to detect the Unruh effect.

The “Death Pits” of Ur: A Tale of Human Sacrifice?
Creators: name: Warman, Olivia
Publisher: name: The Ethnograph: Journal of Anthropological Studies
Year: 2023

description: In this paper, I explore the social implications of the findings at the Royal Cemetery of Ur, Mesopotamia. The discovery of mass graves in the Royal Cemetery, although initially sensationalized and dramatized by media and academics alike, can provide valuable insights into the social order of ancient societies, and should not be dismissed or written off as senseless acts of violence. An analysis of the remains found in both the death pits and the royal graves shows that the activity markers on the bones of the individuals in the death pits, compared to those of the individuals in the separate, royal tombs, indicate that these mass graves contained physical labourers as opposed to wealthy rulers. These findings are indicative of the class differences present in Mesopotamian society and provide an insight into how such class differences manifested in burial practices. Ultimately, sensationalizing these kinds of archaeological finds distorts our perceptions of ancient civilizations and limits the knowledge that academia, and the public can gain from studying these sites in a thoughtful and analytical way.

Neoliberalism and the Mis(representation) of the Maasai in Kenya and Tanzania

Year: 2023

description: Western colonizers are notorious for employing the normative category of “the Other" against people whom they consider to be inferior, subsequently marginalizing those of different cultural and ethnic origins through Eurocentric discourses and material suppressions. In our so-called "post-colonial" period, this paper argues the violence of colonial legacies persists, with certain colonial aspects transfigured into neoliberalism. I look into the ways neoliberal discourses and narratives jeopardize the representation and benefits of the Maasai people living in Kenya and Tanzania today, and how they aim to marginalize the Maasai from their lands. Nonetheless, the Maasai, as autonomous agents, actively engage in neoliberal practices and participate in Indigenous rights activist movements to increase recognition of their rights as holders of their native lands.

It’s All in the Cards: Fortuity and Phenomenology in the Art of Tarot
Creators: name: Villareal, Alexei
Publisher: name: The Ethnograph: Journal of Anthropological Studies
Year: 2023

description: In this paper, I explore the relationship between fortuity and phenomenology in the art of tarot through an autoethnographic analysis. Drawing from contemporary discussions in sociocultural anthropology, I apply my personal experience to further examine my own biases on practices of the occult and how they might instead be applicable in everyday life. In doing so, I argue for the potential integration of such rituals and how scientific methodology need not be separate from the occult. By partaking in a tarot card reading, I came to see how participatory consciousness during the ritual provided me with a newfound clarity and insight in a time of uncertainty and how that has appealed to a larger demographic.

description: The purpose of the present investigation was to analyze the effects of spinal cord injury (SCI) on the peripheral sympathetic nerve, skin sympathetic activity (SSA), and muscle sympathetic activity (MSA). To do this sixteen male Japanese white rabbits weighing 1.0 kg-1.5 kg were used. The exposed spinal cord was transected at various levels. Microelectrodes were placed on the muscular branch and on the cutaneous branch, and they were separately induced using a 0.5 -5 kHz amplifier. The data were calculated with the time reset integration value at 60 seconds. Results: It is usually satisfactory to considered that the peripheral sympathetic fibers from T1-3 generally pass up through the sympathetic chain to the upper extremities, and that fibers from T9-11 pass up through the sympathetic chain to the lower limbs. In the electrophysiological properties studied, the SSA could not be recognized as a spontaneous activity. On the other hand, the MSA could be recognized as a spontaneous regular activity which synchronizes with the R wave of the electrocardiogram. Conclusions: The MSA potentials synchronized with the heart rate, and they seem to correlate with the body homeostasis. The existence of a central regulatory mechanism is suggested from those findings not only in vital rhythms, such as the heart rate variability but also in the MSA.

Year: 2023

description: Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) is a rapid, cost-effective and minimally-invasive biomolecular technique that is commonly used in archaeological research of fauna identification. The developing, and minimally-invasive approach uses polishing films to produce bone powder through abrasion, which protects the fragile fauna products preserved in archaeological collections. As an abrasive material with a similar use and principle as polishing film, this experiment tested the possibility of using abrasive paper as an alternative for minimally-invasive ZooMS. Four bones and one antler were selected from previous research were sampled using four grits of sandpaper and one polishing film. The results demonstrate that sandpaper can be used for minimally-invasive sampling, and that different grit sizes affect identification quality, providing new material for ZooMS analysis.

description: The stomach is a source of several circulating peptides/hormones, such as gastrin, pancreastatin, leptin and ghrelin, which are thought to play important roles in the regulation of food intake and body growth. The present study was undertaken in mice in order to examine the effects of diet composition on the body weight gain and the gastric cells that produce these peptides/hormones. Both young and adult female mice (BALB/cABBom strain) were given a standard pelleted dry diet, with or without cheese ad libitum, during a 7 week period. The diet supplement consisted either of carbohydrate- free white cheese containing 27% fat or sweet-tasting but sucrose-free Norwegian “brown cheese” containing 29% fat and 39% carbohydrate, mainly lactose. The total intake of the various types of food and the change in body weight were recorded. At the end of the observation period, blood samples were obtained for determination of gastric hormone levels by radioimmunoassay, and the stomachs were removed for examination of hormone producing cells by immunohistochemistry. The young mice increased their body weight more than the adult mice. In the groups offered white cheese, both young and adult mice increased their body weight more than the animals kept on the standard diet alone. In contrast, the “brown cheese” supplement led to a relative overweight only in adult mice. Despite the changes in body weight gain, there were no differences with respect to the circulating levels of gastrin, leptin or ghrelin, and to the numbers of cells stained with antibodies to pancreastatin (including ECL cells and G cells), leptin (subpopulation of chief cells) and ghrelin (A-like cells) in all groups. Body weight gain was increased in both young and adult mice by a white cheese diet supplement, whereas ‘brown cheese’ produced overweight only in adult mice. The increased body weight gain was not accompanied by an icrease of gastric cells producing leptin, ghrelin, gastrin, or pancreastatin.

Paleopathology in Pamdom, Patakfalva: A Case Study of Cribra Orbitalia in a Non-Adult From The Székelyföld
Creators: name: Kelly, Sarah
Publisher: name: The Ethnograph: Journal of Anthropological Studies
Year: 2023

description: This research represents a case study of a single non-adult skeleton (SIR 542) recovered from Pamdom, Patakfalkva. The Papdomb (Romanian: Văleni) archeological site denotes a medieval church and its associated cemetery in Văleni, Hagrita County, Romania.(See Fig. 1 in Appendix). This research represents a case study of one of over 661 graves excavated at this site. (Zeidlik et al.). SIR 542 is a non-adult,1 2-3-year-old skeleton from the associated graveyard with cribra orbitalia, a recognized paleopathology. Understanding this paleopathology (the physical or mental conditions observed in the skeletal record) deepens our understanding of the interactions between the biological and social realities of past peoples. This research uses modern American bioarchaeological methods in excavation and analysis to shed light on the biocultural lives of historical Székely peoples. This case study aims to add a complementary paleopathological perspective to the rich historical record maintained by historians and keepers of oral Székely narratives. Acknowledgements This work would have been impossible without the support and knowledge of Dr. Bethard, the field team director Katie K, museum director and descendant community member Nyaradi Zsolt, my research peers, the Haáz Rezső Múzeum in Odorheiu Secuiesc (Székelyudvarley) and Archaeotek for allowing me to study the materials discussed within this article. Further, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the Székely community in Pamdom and Transylvania at large. I appreciate the trust that they have given me in working with their ancestors. As the Székely community is a Hungarian-speaking community, I have used the Hungarian names of locations, despite these sites being located in what is now Romania.

description: Massive stars can alter physical conditions and properties of their ambient interstellar dust grains via radiative heating and shocks. The HII regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) offer ideal sites to study the stellar energy feedback effects on dust because stars can be resolved, and the galaxy's nearly face-on orientation allows us to unambiguously associate HII regions with their ionizing massive stars. The Spitzer Space Telescope survey of the LMC provides multi-wavelength (3.6 to 160 $μ$m) photometric data of all HII regions. To investigate the evolution of dust properties around massive stars, we have analyzed spatially-resolved IR dust emission from two classical HII regions (N63 and N180) and two simple superbubbles (N70 and N144) in the LMC. We produce photometric spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of numerous small subregions for each region based on its stellar distributions and nebular morphologies. We use DustEM dust emission model fits to characterize the dust properties. Color-color diagrams and model fits are compared with the radiation field (estimated from photometric and spectroscopic surveys). Strong radial variations of SEDs can be seen throughout the regions, reflecting the available radiative heating. Emission from very small grains drastically increases at locations where the radiation field is the highest, while polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) appear to be destroyed. PAH emission is the strongest in the presence of molecular clouds, provided that the radiation field is low.

Year: 2023

description: The Rancho LaBrea (RLB) tar sand in Los Angeles California is known for its highly preserved megafauna.Researchers have been attempting collagen extraction on RLB faunal assemblages for over 50 years for the purpose of isotope and radiocarbon analyses. There has yet to be extensive research on the applications of Zoo-archaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) to these materials. This research fills this gap, as a pilot attempt of ZooMS analysis on LaBrea Tar Sand faunal material. The project aims to answer if ZooMS taxonomic identification is possible on RLB materials. Analysis will be conducted on bone samples which have had tar removed, as well as on untreated bones, aiming to assess the relationship between visible asphalt saturation and total MALDI-TOF spectra peaks. As DNA analysis is costly and has not yet seen success in RLB materials, this research could provide great additional insight to fauna populations of RLB, as well as tar saturated faunal assemblages around the world.

description: Nearly one-third of the gamma-ray sources detected by Fermi are still unidentified, despite significant recent progress in this effort. On the other hand, all the gamma-ray extragalactic sources associated in the second Fermi-LAT catalog have a radio counterpart. Motivated by this observational evidence we investigate all the radio sources of the major radio surveys that lie within the positional uncertainty region of the unidentified gamma-ray sources (UGSs) at 95% level of confidence. First we search for their infrared counterparts in the all-sky survey performed by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) and then we analyze their IR colors in comparison with those of the known gamma-ray blazars. We propose a new approach, based on a 2-dimensional kernel density estimation (KDE) technique in the single [3.4]-[4.6]-[12] micron WISE color-color plot, replacing the constraint imposed in our previous investigations on the detection at 22 micron of each potential IR counterpart of the UGSs with associated radio emission. The main goal of this analysis is to find distant gamma-ray blazar candidates that, being too faint at 22 micron, are not detected by WISE and thus are not selected by our purely IR based methods. We find fifty-five UGS's likely correspond to radio sources with blazar-like IR signatures. Additional eleven UGSs having, blazar-like IR colors, have been found within the sample of sources found with deep recent ATCA observations.

description: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of protein deficiency on plasma testosterone levels, epididymal sperm characteristics and testicular histology in the developing male rat. Twenty four Wistar albino rats were used in the study and were fed with a diet variously containing 3 %, 10 % and 20 % protein. Plasma testosterone levels were significantly lower in rats fed 3 % protein when compared to rats fed 10 % and 20 % protein (P<0.05). Testicular weight in protein deficient rats (rats fed 3 % and 10 % protein) was significantly lower than that of a control group (20 % protein) (P<0.05). No sperm was present in the epididymal duct lumen, but germ cells were observed in some duct lumens in rats fed 3 % protein. Epididymal weight decreased significantly in rats fed 3 % protein compared to rats fed 10 % and 20 % protein (P<0.05). The results of this study clearly show that protein deficiency in developing male rats adversely affects gonadal endocrine function, testicular histology and spermatogenesis.

description: Double-negation translations are used to encode and decode classical proofs in intuitionistic logic. We show that, in the cut-free fragment, we can simplify the translations and introduce fewer negations. To achieve this, we consider the polarization of the formulæ{} and adapt those translation to the different connectives and quantifiers. We show that the embedding results still hold, using a customized version of the focused classical sequent calculus. We also prove the latter equivalent to more usual versions of the sequent calculus. This polarization process allows lighter embeddings, and sheds some light on the relationship between intuitionistic and classical connectives.
Vascular access to the arterial side of the pancreas in the Syrian hamster

description: In order to establish a new approach to the treatment of tumours of the exocrine pancreas of humans, this work was aimed at gaining vascular access to the arterial side of the pancreas in the Syrian hamster. There is to our knowledge no information available in the literature concerning the catheterisation of the arterial side of the pancreas in the Syrian hamster. Preliminary anatomical studies revealed that the coeliac artery could be a possible vascular access to the different lobes of the pancreas in the Syrian hamster. The lumen of the splenic artery is too small to be catheterised. Injection of Evan´s blue and plastic beads in different sizes into the coelic artery demonstrated distribution to the different lobes of the pancreas as well as to the spleen, the stomach, the duodenum, and the omentum. This opens up the possibility of a treatment, using biodegradable plastic beads coated with immunomodulators injected on the arterial side of the pancreas, as well as alginate beads harbouring transfected cells, capable of delivering various substances in the area of interest.

description: In this letter, we propose a novel model and corresponding algorithms to address the optimal utility max-min fair link adaptation in Downlink Multi-User (DL-MU) feature of the emerging IEEE 802.11ac WLAN standard. Herein, we first propose a simple yet accurate model to formulate the max-min fair link adaptation problem. Furthermore, this model guarantees the minimum utility gain of each receiver according to its requirements. In the second step, we show that the optimal solution of the proposed model can be obtained in polynomial time, and then the solution algorithms are proposed and analyzed. The simulation results demonstrate the significant achievement of the proposed utility-aware link adaptation approach in terms of max-min fairness and utility gain compared to utility-oblivious schemes.

Join the Brotherhood!: How “Alpha Male” Podcasts are Targeting Men
Creators: name: Marsales, Emma
Publisher: name: The Ethnograph: Journal of Anthropological Studies

description: A recent upsurge of all-male hosted podcasts in North America has brought to the foreground an extreme type of content that focuses mainly on spreading misogynistic rhetoric based on contrived constructions of the gender binary. This paper explores the language used in the trending genre of podcasting, dubbed “alpha male” podcasts, to demonstrate how a “hegemonic masculinity” is constructed in (heterosexual) adolescent boys and young men, taking explicit advantage of a lack of positive male culture. Two trending “alpha male” podcasts– Good Bro Bad Bro and Fresh and Fit Podcast– reveal a campaign of sexist and bigoted content aimed towards teenage boys who are struggling to contextualize the world and their role in it. In utilizing “hegemonic masculinity,” these podcasts emphasize a practice that legitimizes men's dominant position in society and justifies the subordination of the “common” male population and women. In revealing these hegemonic practices, this paper aims to emphasize the alarming ferocity with which this content is targeted at young men with low confidence, and highlight the need for more online resources for men.

description: This study is inspired by a scenario, in which the Standard Model, enhanced by an additional dark matter scalar, could be extended up to the Planck scale, while accommodating the low measured value of the Higgs mass. To that end, we study a toy model for a gauge singlet dark matter scalar coupled to the Higgs-top-quark sector of the Standard Model. Using functional methods to derive Renormalization Group flow equations in that model, we examine several choices for the ultraviolet, bare potential in the Higgs-dark-matter sector. Our results indicate that the dark matter scalar can decrease the lower bound on the Higgs mass in the Standard Model. We then use the fact that higher-order couplings which are driven to tiny values by the Renormalization Group flow towards low energies can easily be of order one at the ultraviolet cutoff scale. Our study indicates that the inclusion of these couplings can significantly increase the ultraviolet cutoff scale and therefore the range of validity of the model while yielding a low value for the Higgs mass in the infrared. This is achieved within a setting where the dark matter scalar accounts for the complete dark matter relic density in our universe.

description: Propranolol is a ß-adrenergic antagonist used for the treatment of a variety of cardiac conditions and has a palliative value when used in situations in which adrenergic signals and symptoms are involved. It is used as a co-adjuvant in hyperthyroidism to decrease heart rate and output, as well as the tremor. The aim of this work was to study the effect of propranolol treatment on the oxidative burst of rat peripheral blood neutrophils and on the complement system. In the in vivo study, Wistar male rats were treated with propranolol by gavage for 16 days with 220 or 440 μg/animal/day. These doses are equivalent to 80 or 160 mg/adult human (~70 day/kg), respectively. Neutrophils were obtained and stimulated with opsonized immune complexes (opIC). The oxidative burst of control (from water treated rats) or propranolol-treated rat cells was measured by luminol- and lucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence (CL). The CL of treated rat neutrophils was not affected by any of the propranolol doses studied when compared to the control responses. In the in vitro study whole blood and serum from Wistar male rats were incubated for 1 h at 37C° with propranolol at three different concentrations (17.5, 35 and 70 μg/mL). After incubation, neutrophils were isolated from whole blood and stimulated with opIC while treated sera were used to opsonize IC. IC opsonized with treated sera were used to stimulate neutrophils from normal rats. In both cases oxidative burst was measured by luminol- and lucigenin-dependent CL. No differences in responses or activities were detected between in vitro treated neutrophils or sera and their respective controls. These results suggest that this drug, at the concentrations studied and with the experimental approach used, had no effect on the oxidative burst during phagocytosis of opIC or on the complement opsonization capacity of the sera.

description: In this paper we consider a universe filled with barotropic dark matter and Ricci dark energy in Lyra geometry with varying Lambda. We assume two different kinds of interactions between dark matter and dark energy. Then, by using numerical analysis, we investigate some cosmological parameters of the models such as equation of state, Hubble and deceleration parameters.

description: The carbohydrate metabolic response to experimentally induced swine dysentery was studied in crossbreed pigs. Twelve pigs, with a mean weight of ~20 kg, were orally inoculated with Brachyspira hyodysenteriae strain B204. After an incubation period of 6-20 days, five animals developed swine dysentery with haemorrhagic diarrhoea and two animals developed non-haemorrhagic diarrhoea. Five animals remained healthy throughout the study. Blood samples from the animals with clinical signs of disease were collected before inoculation, several times during the course of the dysentery and finally after recovery. Blood samples from animals that remained healthy were obtained before inoculation and at slaughter four weeks later. Glucose, lactate and cortisol concentrations did not differ between sampling occasions in the healthy animals. In the sick animals, higher concentrations were observed when haemorrhagic diarrhoea occurred (mean peak value ± SD: glucose 7.6 ± 0.7 mmol/L; lactate 4.5 ± 1.7 mmol/L; cortisol 278 ± 86 nmol/L) compared to before inoculation (mean value ± SD: glucose 5.1 ± 1.2 mmol/L; lactate 1.3 ± 0.5 mmol/L; cortisol 24 ± 11 nmol/L). At slaughter, tissue samples from m. biceps femoris, m. longissimus dorsi, myocardium and liver were collected from 10 pigs and glycogen analysis was performed. Glycogen concentrations did not differ between the healthy pigs and those that developed swine dysentery: concentrations were highest in the liver and lowest in the heart. In conclusion, experimental infection with B. hyodysenteriae results in alteration of the carbohydrate metabolism, which is characterised by a transient increase in blood glucose and lactate concentrations during the initial phase of the haemorrhagic period of the disease.
