Preliminary report on some physiological parameters in pregnant she-camel (Camelus dromedarius) in North America

摘要: A study was carried out to determine the haematological, serum biochemical enzymes and hormonal values in clinically normal 9 pregnant she camels (Camelus dromedarius) aged 8 to 16 years. The mean values of various serum enzymes viz. sorbitol dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phophatase and gamma glutamyltransferase in IU/L were 2.30±0.90, 71.00±3.0, 57.0±16.5 and 20.0±2.9, respectively. The serum levels of various hormones viz. progesterone, cortisol, insulin, tri-iodothyronine and thyroxine were 3.5±1.5 ng/ml, 20.0±5.4 ng/ml, 3.8±1.2 µl/ml, 16.0±3.6 ng/ml and 129.0±16.0 ng/ml, respectively.
