ABSTRACT
Tajik
J., Serum thyroid hormone and biochemistry in normal camels (Camelus dromedarius), Onl J Vet Res., 17(8):407-415, 2013. Serum
triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) were
correlated with serum total protein, albumin, glucose,
urea, aspartate amino transferase (AST), alanine amino transferase (ALT),
lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK) and
alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in 150 clinically healthy dromedarian camels. No significant difference was
found between male and female values. Age was correlated with glucose (r=
-0.283, P <0.001) and ALP (r= -0.285, P <0.001) with young camels
(<5y) having higher levels. Serum T4 correlated with (r= 0.410, P
<0.001), AST (r= 0.209, P =0.01), LDH (r= 0.212, P =0.011), albumin (r=
-0.291, P =0.011). T3 correlated with glucose (r= 0.220, P=0.007), AST (r=
0.242, P =0.003), albumin (r= -0.240, P =0.038) and CK (r= 0.178, P
=0.029). Levels of serum thyroid hormones and measured parameters were different
between summer and winter.
