Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Kırklareli ilindeki Koyunbaba Mağarası'ndan yakalanan büyük fare kulaklı yarasa Myotis myotis (Borkhausen)'te normal hematolojik değerler ve bazı biyokimyasal parametreler incelenmiştir. Lökosit (beyaz kan hücresi) sayıları (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), hematokrit (HCT), albümin (ALB), total protein (TP), kolesterol (CHO), glikoz (GLU), trigliserit (TG), Üre (U), kreatin (CREAT), alanin transaminaz (ALT) ve aspartat amino transferazı (AST) içeren hematoloji ve plazma biyokimya parametrelerini belirlemek için görünüşte sağlıklı 10 hayvan (5 erkek ve 5 dişi) kullanılmıştır. Analiz edilen parametreler için erkek ve dişi hayvanlar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır. Plazma total kolesterol konsantrasyonu, diğer böcekçil yarasa türlerininkine benzerken, meyve ile beslenen türlerden oldukça yüksektir. Ayrıca trigliserit seviyesi meyve ile beslenen yarasalardakinden daha yüksektir. Myotis myotis' teki yüksek total kolesterol ve trigliserit değerleri, böcekçil yarasa türlerinin protein açısından zengin beslenme şeklini yansıtmaktadır. Bu çalışmada kaydedilen değerler, türün korunması ve yönetimi için doğada M. myotis' in fizyolojik ve patolojik durumunun değerlendirilmesinde yardımcı olabilir.

Abstract

In this study, normal hematologic values and some biochemical parameters were examined in wild-caught greater mouse-eared bat Myotis myotis (Borkhausen) captured from Koyunbaba Cave in the Kırklareli province, Turkey. Ten apparently healthy animals (five males and five females) were used to determine the hematology and plasma biochemistry parameters including, leucocyte (white blood cell) counts (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (HCT), albumin (ALB), total protein (TP), cholesterol (CHO), glucose (GLU), triglycerides (TG), Urea (U), creatine (CREAT), alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate amino transferase (AST). No statistically significant differences were found between male and female animals for the analyzed parameters. Plasma total cholesterol concentration was similar with the those of other insectivorous bat species whereas extremely higher than frugivorous species. Also, triglyceride level was higher than the frugivorous bats. The high total cholesterol and triglyceride values in M. myotis reflect a protein-rich diet of insectivorous bat species. The values recorded in this study could be helpful in evaluating the physiologic and pathologic status of M. myotis in the wild for conservation and management of species.
