ABSTRACT
Chalmeh
A, Pourjafar M, Badiei K, Nazifi S, Keshavarz, Naghib M., Effect of aging on circulating cardiac
biomarkers in male dromedary camels, Onl J Vet Res., 18(1):57-63,
2014. Normal dromedary
camels (Camelus dromedarius)
were divided into groups of 1-3yrs (n=7), 4-6 (n=7), 7-9 (n=8), and above 10yrs
(n=8). Serum concentrations of homocysteine (Hcy),
cardiac troponin I (cTnI), creatine
kinase-myocardial specific isoenzymes (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),
alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were
evaluated. Serum concentrations of ALT, AST and cTnI
increased with aging whereas Hcy decreased with age.
CK-MB and LDH were not affected by age. The data reveals changing patterns of
myocardial health biomarkers during aging of camels which could be used to
assess cardiac health and fitness at different ages.
Keywords:
cardiac biomarkers, aging, dromedary camels.
