Forty-three adult one-humped Iranian camels (Camelus dromedarius) were studied to determine their physical, cellular and biochemical parameters of synovial fluid and blood. All the animals were clinically normal with no clinical signs of locomotion problem. Synovial fluid samples were taken from both elbow joints, and blood samples were also obtained from the jugular vein immediately prior to arthrocentesis. The synovial fluid appeared pale, creamy, and clear with no debris. No clot formation was observed at room temperature. Mucin clot test in all samples was normal. The percentage of neutrophils and eosinophils in the synovial fluid was lower than that in blood (P < 0.05). In contrast, the percentage of lymphocytes and monocytes in the synovial fluid was higher than that in blood (P < 0.05). The concentration of protein, glucose, uric acid, inorganic phosphorus, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium and the activities of AST, ALT, ALP, CK and LDH was higher in the serum than in the synovial fluid (P < 0.05). Nonetheless, the concentration of chloride in the synovial fluid was higher than in the serum (P < 0.05). The concentration of urea nitrogen in the synovial fluid was similar to that of the serum. Comparing the values of the synovial fluid constituents of the left and the right elbow joint showed that there was no significant difference in any of the physical, cellular and biochemical parameters. No significant difference was found in any of the cellular and biochemical parameters of male and female camels' blood except in red blood cell counts, which was lower in females than in males. Comparing the values of the synovial fluid of male and female camels showed that there was no significant difference in any of the physical, cellular and biochemical parameters.
对43头成年单峰伊朗骆驼（ Camelus dromedarius ）进行了研究，以确定其滑液和血液的物理、细胞及生化参数。所有动物临床均正常，无运动问题的临床体征。从双侧肘关节采集滑液样本，并在关节穿刺术前立即从颈静脉采集血液样本。滑液呈淡色、乳状且清澈，无碎屑。室温下未观察到凝块形成。所有样本的粘蛋白凝块试验均正常。滑液中中性粒细胞和嗜酸性粒细胞的百分比低于血液中的百分比（P < 0.05）。相反，滑液中淋巴细胞和单核细胞的百分比高于血液中的百分比（P < 0.05）。血清中蛋白质、葡萄糖、尿酸、无机磷、钙、钠、钾、镁的浓度以及AST、ALT、ALP、CK和LDH的活性均高于滑液（P < 0.05）。尽管如此，滑液中氯的浓度高于血清中的浓度（P < 0.05）。滑液中尿素氮的浓度与血清中的相似。比较左右肘关节滑液成分的值表明，在任何物理、细胞及生化参数方面均无显著差异。除红细胞计数外，雄性和雌性骆驼血液的任何细胞及生化参数均未发现显著差异，雌性的红细胞计数低于雄性。比较雄性和雌性骆驼的滑液值表明，在任何物理、细胞及生化参数方面均无显著差异。
