Abstract:
1. The blood of twenty camels has been analyzed and the levels of eight serum enzymes determined. 2. In addition, PK and G6PD activities in the erythrocytes were assayed. 3. A number of other serum constituents were also measured, including haemoglobin, bilirubin, uric acid, phosphorus, cholesterol, total lipids and glucose. 4. Wherever possible, the values obtained were compared with data for the camel reported in the literature. 5. Where no such values existed, comparisons with other ruminants were drawn.
