Eight healthy female adult camels were used to study the effect of long term dehydration on serum constituents in extreme climatic conditions viz. cold and hot. The dehydration phases were of 24 days in cold and 13 days in hot conditions. The changes in sodium, potassium, calcium and phosphorus were non significant (P > 0.05) while in chloride, glucose, total proteins, urea, bilirubin, cholesterol and creatinine were significant (P < or = 0.05) during dehydration phase. The mean values of all the constituents tended to return to normal as the rehydration phase advanced. Changes in sodium and potassium in dehydrated camels reflected that they were able to maintain the salt balance.
八只健康的成年雌性骆驼被用于研究在极端气候条件(寒冷和炎热)下长期脱水对血清成分的影响。在寒冷条件下脱水阶段为24天,在炎热条件下为13天。在脱水阶段,钠、钾、钙和磷的变化不显著(P>0.05),而氯、葡萄糖、总蛋白、尿素、胆红素、胆固醇和肌酐的变化显著(P≤0.05)。随着补液阶段的推进,所有成分的平均值趋于恢复正常。脱水骆驼体内钠和钾的变化表明它们能够维持盐分平衡。
