Blood samples from 120 pigs serially slaughtered at five age groups, starting at 85 days of age with intervals of 2 wk, were used to study the effects of sex, feeding regime and age on a 12 component metabolic blood serum profile. The differences between barrows and gilts were small and only significant (P < 0.05) for blood urea. Pigs fed ad libitum had a significantly (P < 0.05) higher level of blood urea, calcium, inorganic phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase but a significantly (P < 0.01) lower level of creatinine than restricted fed pigs. Age had the most pronounced effects on the serum parameters studied, with blood urea, calcium, bilirubin, creatinine, total serum protein and albumin showing a significant (P < 0.01) increase per unit of serum with increasing age. The serum glucose, inorganic phosphorus, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and lactate dehydrogenase were also significantly (P < 0.01, P < 0.05 for glucose) influenced by age but did not show a consistent trend across the age groups. Serum alkaline phosphatase was the only component which significantly (P < 0.01) decreased with age. The results indicate that when these serum components are to be used for diagnostic or comparison purposes, age adjustment must be applied. Key words: Blood parameters, pigs, age, feeding regime, sex

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Blood serum parameters are tightly associated with human beings' physiological activities, therefore the real-time monitoring of blood serum parameters attacks great attention. Many fluorescent sensors exist to measure such parameters, but most would be readily exclude from serum. A novel NIR fluorescent pH sensor was designed and synthesized to test the sensor system in the serum. This NIR- pH sensor was trapped inside RBCs to characterize its response and the result shows the RBC trapped NIR-pH sensor behaves similar as in the free conditions. Based on the NIR fluorophore, a series of novel NIR fluorescent fructose were also designed and synthesized. By using different linkers, these NIR fluorescent sensors showed different binding affinities and fluorescence increase. It appeared the rigid linker had the highest binding affinity and the lowest fluorescence increase upon binding with the fructose. These NIR fluorescence fructose sensors would be used as the reference for the future glucose design.
