Abstract

Background: The identification of the reference values of certain serum biochemical parameters in relation to the age was studied in dromedary camels. Methods: Fourteen healthy young camels (age: 3-5 months), 12 adult male and 10 female camels (age: 5-8 years) were used. Venous blood samples were collected for the determination of certain serum parameters. Results: The reference range ( ± s×1.96) of serum- [Na + ] was 142-160 mmol/l and the percentile range (median (1. - 3.Quartile)) was 143-156 mmol/l for all age groups. The reference values of serum- [K + ] showed a significant (P<0.05) variation between the age groups being higher the young camels (4.2-7.4 mmol/l) compared to the adult groups (3.7-5.5 mmol/l). Serum- [Protein] and serum- [Albumin] showed significant (P<0.05) differences between the age groups. Significantly higher (P<0.05) reference range of 51-74 g/l and a percentile range of 59-67.7 g/l was observed in the adult female camels compared to young and adult male groups. Conclusion: These reference values are useful in detecting the influence of strong electrolytes such as Na + , K + and Cl - and weak acids (proteins) on the physiological and pathological status of the camels in relation to their age. Keywords: Camels, age, electrolyte concentrations, total protein, albumin, reference values.

年龄和性别对单峰骆驼某些血清生化指标的影响

背景:对单峰骆驼血清中与年龄相关的某些生化指标的参考值进行了研究。方法:选取健康幼骆驼14头(3 ~ 5月龄)，成年公骆驼12头，成年母骆驼10头(5 ~ 8岁)。采集静脉血，测定血清某些参数。结果:血清- [Na +]参考范围(±s×1.96)为142 ~ 160 mmol/l;(3.四分位数))为143-156 mmol/l。血清- [K +]参考值在不同年龄组间差异显著(P<0.05)，其中幼骆驼(4.2 ~ 7.4 mmol/l)高于成年骆驼(3.7 ~ 5.5 mmol/l)。血清-[蛋白]和血清-[白蛋白]在不同年龄组间差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。成年母骆驼的参考范围为51 ~ 74 g/l (P<0.05)，百分位数范围为59 ~ 67.7 g/l (P<0.05)。结论:这些参考值可用于检测强电解质(如Na +、K +、Cl -)和弱酸(蛋白质)对骆驼生理和病理状态与年龄相关的影响。关键词:骆驼，年龄，电解质浓度，总蛋白，白蛋白，参考值。
