Normal values of biochemical parameters in serum of New Zealand White Rabbits

Abstract

Objective: Laboratory animals, which are an organ complex, are used as model for human in biomedical studies. For this reason, information about the normal physiological values of laboratory animals provide important information on their health status. In this study, it is aimed to determine the serum normal biochemical values of New Zealand rabbits.Methods: Blood was taken from the ears of 93 rabbits. Biochemical tests were performed on serum samples. For analyses, commercial diagnostic kits were used for determination of biochemical parameters. Statistically, the difference between the mean values of the variables according to male and female rabbit was analyzed by independent sample t-test.Results: Albumin, protein, CK creatin kinase and LDH lactade dehydrogenase p

Yeni Zelanda Beyaz Tavşanların Serum Biyokimyasal Parametrelerin Normal Değerleri

Abstract

Amaç: Bir organ kompleksi olan laboratuvar hayvanları biyomedikal çalışmalarda insanlar için model olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu nedenle, laboratuvar hayvanlarının normal fizyolojik değerleri, sağlık durumlarıyla ilgili önemli bilgiler sağlar. Bu çalışmada da Yeni Zelanda tavşanlarının serum normal biyokimyasal değerlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Toplam 93 60♂; 33♀ tavşanın kulaklarından biyokimyasal testler yapıldı. Analizler için biyokimyasal parametrelerin belirlenmesinde ticari teşhis kitleri kullanıldı. İstatistiksel olarak, erkek ve dişi tavşana göre değişkenlerin ortalama değerleri arasındaki fark bağımsız sample t-testi ile analiz edildi. Bulgular: Erkek tavşanların albümin, protein, CK keratin kinaz ve LDH laktat dehidrogenaz p
