ABSTRACT

 

Pourjafar M*, Nazifi S, Badiei K, Chalmeh AA, Setayesh A, Naghib M., Reference serum selenium, copper, zinc, vitamin A, E and C concentrations in dromedary camels, Online J Bioinform, 16 (4): 251-256, 2012. Five groups of 6 each healthy dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius), aged 1, 1-3, 4-6, 7-9 and above 10 years old were used. Sera were analyzed for selenium, copper, zinc,  vitamin A, E and C concentrations.  One-way ANOVA showed no significant differences between specific serum parameters in any age group (p>0.05), Normal reference values in µmol/L were 6.75±1.00 to 9.98±2.71 zinc, 6.58±1.07 to 12.43±2.69 copper, 0.15±0.00 to 0.16±0.01 selenium, 1.04±0.32 to 1.48±0.18 vitamin A, 572.52±148.04 to 929.29±239.65 vitamin C and 2.16±0.35 to 3.47±0.76 for vitamin E.
