title: [The annual glucido-lipid cycle in a varanid of Senegal].
abstract: Lipid and carbohydrate storage depots on one hand, blood lipids and glucose on the other hand, were measured every month in Varanus exanthematicus exanthematicus, the annual cycle of which is correlated to the characteristic succession of one dry and one wet season in the Sahel area. The large cyclic variations of these figures are discussed as a function of the animal behaviour and what is known about its endocrine cycle.
