Mynahs are popular pet and aviary birds. Captive mynahs are prone to metabolic disorders, such as obesity, hepatic lipidosis, and atherosclerosis, and determination of a plasma biochemical reference interval is essential for diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of these disorders. To establish reference intervals for the lipoprotein panel and plasma activity of liver enzymes in common mynahs (), glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, high and low density lipoprotein concentrations, and activities of aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, and lactate dehydrogenase were measured in 56 adult healthy individuals. The data were grouped according to sex and body weight. For all variables, no significant differences were found between male and female mynahs, and body weight had no effect on lipoprotein fractions. Our results provide a reliable reference interval for some blood biochemical values in healthy common mynahs that could be useful for diagnosing and monitoring disease problems.
八哥是受欢迎的宠物鸟和笼养鸟类。圈养的八哥容易出现代谢紊乱，如肥胖、肝脏脂肪变性和动脉粥样硬化，因此确定血浆生化参考区间对于这些疾病的诊断、治疗和监测至关重要。为了建立家八哥脂蛋白组和肝酶血浆活性的参考区间，对56只成年健康个体测量了葡萄糖、胆固醇、甘油三酯、高密度和低密度脂蛋白浓度以及天冬氨酸转氨酶、碱性磷酸酶、γ-谷氨酰转移酶和乳酸脱氢酶的活性。数据按性别和体重分组。对于所有变量，未发现雄性和雌性八哥之间存在显著差异，体重对脂蛋白组分也没有影响。我们的结果为健康家八哥的一些血液生化值提供了可靠的参考区间，这可能有助于诊断和监测疾病问题。
