From: The influence of parasitic infection (Eimeria spp.) on bone and cartilage tissue in an animal model
The influence of Eimeria spp. infection on blood biomarkers. (A) Bone turnover markers; (B) Pro-inflammatory cytokines; (C) Immunoglobulins; (D) Serum levels of Ca, P, and Ca: P ratio; (E) Ceruloplasmin and calcitriol [1,25(OH)2D3]. Control – healthy birds. Study – birds infected with Eimeria spp. IGF-1 – Insulin-like growth factor 1; TNF-α – tumor necrosis factor alfa; IL-1 – interleukin-1; IL-6 – interleukin-6; IgY – immunoglobulin Y; IgM – immunoglobulin M. Values represent means ± standard deviation (SD, whiskers) from n = 10 birds per group. Statistical significance is indicated as: * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001 (determined by two-tailed Student’s t-test, t-test with Welch’s correction, or Mann–Whitney U test).
