The Effects of Sodium Acetate on the Immune Functions of Peripheral Mononuclear Cells and Polymorphonuclear Granulocytes in Postpartum Dairy Cows.

ABSTRACT: Excessive lipid mobilization will snatch cell membrane lipids in postpartum dairy cows, which may impair the function of immune cells, including peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMNs). Acetate, as a precursor and the energy source of milk fat synthesis, plays a key role in lipid synthesis and the energy supply of dairy cows. However, there is little information about the effect of sodium acetate (NaAc) on the immune function of PBMC and PMN in postpartum dairy cows. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of NaAc on the immune functions of PBMCs and PMNs in postpartum dairy cows. In this experiment, twenty-four postpartum multiparous Holstein cows were randomly selected and divided into a NaAc treatment group and a control group. Our resu
