Biochemical analysis of serum and cerebrospinal fluid in clinically normal adult camels (Camelus dromedarius).
The concentrations of total protein, glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, urea nitrogen, creatinine, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, inorganic phosphorus, copper, magnesium, and iron and the activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase, (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LD), creatine kinase (CK) and amylase were determined in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum from 21 clinically healthy adult camels. The concentrations of sodium, potassium and chloride in CSF were similar to those of serum; whereas the values for all other constituents were significantly higher (P<0.05) in serum than in CSF.
