摘要
Results for biochemical determinations on serum of 28 pregnant camels (Camelus dromedarius) at term were compared with those of 32 non-pregnant camels (C. dromedarius). Sera from pregnant group had higher mean alkaline phosphatase activity and lower mean albumin, blood urea nitrogen, calcium, cholesterol, iron, phosphorus, total protein concentrations, γ-glutamyl transferase, and lactate dehydrogenase activities. All the differences are significant. Globulin, creatinine concentrations, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and creatinine kinase activities did not differ significantly. © Springer-Verlag London Limited 2008.
