摘要: The present study is the first to monitor plasma chemistries of a group 30 Hermann’s tortoises (HTs) over two summer seasons characterize and quantify seasonal gender-related influences. following analytes were analyzed: ALT, ALP, AST, BA, CA, CHO, CK, LDH, GLU, GLDH, P, TP, TRIG, urea uric acid. Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA, mean values, confidence intervals calculated. overall results showed distinct patterns somewhat unexpected concerning chemistry changes induced by season gender in majority routine biochemical analytes. P significantly higher females. LDH GLDH an increase males midsummer. ALP significant analogous variation for both sexes. GLU moderate during Uric acid concentrations variation. For some analytes, fitted curves could be calculated describing
