ABSTRACT
Nazifi S, Saboorifar MH, Erjaee
H, Omidi A, Khosravi M,
Haddadi M, Niknam H., Serum calcium, phosphorus,
magnesium, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and parathyroid hormone values in male and
female camels, Onl J Vet Res., 20(11):686-690, 2016. Serum
concentrations and correlations between calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium
(Mg), 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH) D3) and PTH in 45
female and 45 male camels (one humped) are reported. Serum Ca, P and
Mg were measured by colorimetry, PTH by ELISA kit and serum 25(OH) D3
concentrations by HPLC. Significant differences were found between
males and females in Ca and PTH but not with P, Mg or 25(OH)D3.
Values in males were Ca 6.37 ± 1.15, P 6.49 ± 1.82, Mg 2.23 ± 0.36 mg/dl,
25(OH)D3 839.31 ± 30.10 pg/ml, PTH
361.01 ± 109.18 ng/ml and in females Ca 7.72±1.98, P 7.31±1.77, Mg 2.18±0.19
mg/dl, 25(OH)D3 834.86±28.86 pg/ml
and PTH 305.39±107.92 ng/ml. No correlation was found between P and
25(OH)D3 in any group but
Ca values correlated negatively with Mg (r= -0.35; P < 0.01) = 0.91).
Key words: Ca, P, Magnesium, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, Parathyroid hormone, One humped camels.
