Abstract

The plasma concentration of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol was measured in 13 adult Hermann's tortoises (Testudo hermanni), seven adult spur-thighed tortoises (Testudo graeca) and two adult marginated tortoises (Testudo marginata) during 2004. They were healthy, of both sexes, and kept in captivity under natural unfiltered sunlight in southern England with no dietary sources of cholecalciferol. Blood samples were taken in March, June and August, and the concentration of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol did not vary significantly with the seasons. However, the concentrations in the female tortoises were always significantly lower than in the males.

摘要

2004年期间，对13只成年赫尔曼陆龟（Testudo hermanni）、7只成年 spur-thighed 陆龟（Testudo graeca）和2只成年缘翘陆龟（Testudo marginata）的血浆25-羟基胆钙化醇浓度进行了测量。这些陆龟健康，雌雄皆有，饲养在英格兰南部自然未过滤阳光下的圈养环境中，且饮食中没有胆钙化醇来源。分别于3月、6月和8月采集血样，25-羟基胆钙化醇的浓度随季节变化不显著。然而，雌性陆龟的浓度始终显著低于雄性陆龟。
