Serum alpha‐1‐proteinase inhibitor concentration in 2 Quarter Horse foals with idiopathic pyogranulomatous panniculitis

“…There was also no apparent difference in API concentration between the sexes although sexual dimorphism in API concentrations has been previously reported in rats, mice, rabbits, dogs and man (Hughes et al 1995). The total serum API concentrations measured in this study are close to the concentrations previously estimated by several groups ranging 2.3-4 mg/ml (Patterson et al 1991;Pellegrini 1994).…”
