African Journal of Biotechnology, 10(38), 7534-7540.1684-5315http://hdl.handle.net/11452/29028This research is aimed at determining the erythrocyte potassium and glutathione polymorphisms and also to identify the relationship among the various blood parameters in Saanen x Malta crossbred goat raised in Turkey. The allele gene frequencies of K-H and K-L associated with the potassium concentration were calculated as 0.94 and 0.06, respectively. The differences between the mean values of low and high potassium concentrations in erythrocyte were statistically significant (P < 0.01). In addition, there were some significant relationships between erythrocyte potassium types and some blood parameters such as whole blood sodium and potassium concentrations, erythrocyte sodium and potassium concentrations and total monovalent cation concentration in erythrocyte (P < 0.05). The allele gene frequencies of GSH(H) and GSH(h) related with the glutathione concentration were calculated as 0.43 and 0.57, respectively. The difference between the mean values of low and high glutathione erythrocyte concentrations were also statistically significant (P < 0.01). Finally, the significant correlation coefficient between erythrocyte sodium and potassium concentrations was observed in this study (P < 0.05).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBiotechnology & applied microbiologyErythrocyte potassiumGlutathioneBlood polymorphismSaanenMalta goatCapra hircusArticle0002946746000292-s2.0-79960874351753475401038Biotechnology & applied microbiologyGoat; Bovidae; EwesGlutathioneMonovalent cationPotassiumSodiumAnimal experimentArticleBreeding lineConcentration (parameters)Controlled studyCross breedingErythrocyte levelFemaleGene frequencyGene locusGenetic associationGenetic polymorphismGenetic traitGoatMaltaNonhumanPhenotypic variationPotassium blood levelProtein blood levelProtein determinationSodium blood levelTurkey (republic)
