Glycosylated hemoglobin as a stable alternative to serum glucose in white-tailed deer.

摘要: We compared serum glucose concentration and percent glycosylated hemoglobin (GH) in captive wild white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) to determine stability of relative GH. Temporal changes levels GH were ascertained from serial blood samples collected three over a 2-week period. State glycemia also was determined for 17 that populations southeastern Oklahoma southwestern Arkansas (USA). Concentration decreased (P = 0.04) 190.4 155.8 mg/dl the 2 weeks; did not differ temporally 0.30). Percent 0.23) when separated into groups (high low state glycemia) based on median concentration. found significant difference among populations; 0.72) populations. Our results indicate p...
