Clostridium perfringens infection increased the levels of MDA (P = 0.005) and ALB (P < 0.001), and GPx activity (P < 0.001), and decreased the levels of TG (P < 0.001) and UA (P < 0.001), and ALT activity (P < 0.001) (Table 5). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is infection due to clostridium perfringens.
