Abstract
Aim:
The aim of the present study was
to generate baseline data on the normal values of the
thyroidhormone (TH) activity as well as their correlation with
age and season.
Materials and Methods:
Blood samples (10 ml) were
collected from jugular vein of 30 female mithun’s of three
different age groups
viz. Calves (6 months
to 1 year), heifer (1-3 years) and adult (above 3 years) during
the three season’s viz.
Monsoon, winter and spring of a year. The serum was analyzed for
thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3),
and thyroxine (T4)
activity.
Result:
The result showed a
significantly (p<0.05) a higher T3
level in heifers followed
by adults and calves and higher T4
level in adults followed
by heifers and calves in all the seasons. The TSH level was
higher in heifers in all the seasons. The winter season recorded
higher level of T3,
T4,
and TSH as compared to the other seasons of a year.
Conclusion:
The TSH and T3
level were the highest
for aheifer, whereas T4
level was the highest for
adults inall the season. Furthermore, the higher level of TH was
observed in winter season. The increased level of the TH during
the winter season signifies their calorigenic effect. Similarly
in heifers, the increased T3
concentrations show its
importance in reproductive physiology and its association with
ovarian activity. This indicates that age and season have
aprofound effect on TH activity of Mizoram strain female mithun.
Keywords:
age, mithun, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, thyroid hormone,
season.
