Porcine salivary carbonic anhydrase VI is involved in the pathogenesis of disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Evidence exists of the role of salivary carbonic anhydrase VI (CA VI) in the protection of the oral mucosa and in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts in different species. However, little is known of the behaviour of CA VI in porcine disease. We aimed to study the behaviour of salivary CA VI in porcine stress and disease for the first time, and to study the concentrations of the CA VI in different homeostasis disturbances under field disease conditions.

Material and methods

We used saliva samples from 30 healthy pigs and 30 pigs with different disorders in a validation trial using protein separation and specific CA VI detection. Afterwards, the salivary CA VI concentrations of 255 clinically healthy pigs and 371 pigs with different signs of disease were
