Table 2.

Mean (SD) measurements of vasoactive substances in 20 dairy cows with subclinical laminitis, 20 dairy cows with chronic laminitis and 20 healthy dairy cows

Measurement SCL CL CON
5-HT (ng/ml) 33.11 ± 17.33 21.85 ± 15.12 35.11 ± 16.63
ET-1 (pg/ml) 40.96 ± 18.07 38.91 ± 12.66 52.63 ± 15.04
iNOS (ng/ml) 5.86 ± 1.44 7.00* ± 2.69 5.90 ± 3.10

The subclinical group (SCL) and the chronic group (CL) were compared with the healthy group (CON), and there was no comparison between the subclinical group and the chronic group. * indicates that the difference is significant (P < 0.05), and ** indicates that the difference is extremely significant (P < 0.01)
