When these metabolic elements are higher then normal, it is subside to diagnosis mammals’ renal dysfunction. This present study aimed to establish reference values for these enzymes in rabbits (laboratory animals), to obtain data for their use in scientific experiments. Thus, it was collected blood samples in 45 animals; three samples each one, making a total of 135 blood samples. Serum was separated by immediate centrifugation. Colorimetric method was realized and values from 36.44+/-10.66mg/dl for urea, minimum at 9.24mg/dl and a maximum at 66.06mg/dl; 0.94+/-0.22 mg/dl for creatinine, minimum at 0.51mg/dl and a maximum at 1.53mg/dl; and 72.41+/-29.68UI for AP, minimum at 10.66UI and a maximum at 167.39UI, were determinate. The GGT was determined for kinetic method and values from 6.85+/-3.31, minimum at 2UI and a maximum at 15UI.</span></p><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; line-height: 100%; font-family: 'Times','serif'">KEY WORDS: Hepatic function, rabbits, renal function, serum biochemistry</span> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 3pt; vertical-align: middle; text-indent: 1cm; line-height: normal; text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'">As enzimas gama-glutamil transferase e fosfatase alcalina são marcadores séricos de processos colestásicos, sendo importantes no diagnóstico das hepatopatias. A uréia e a creatinina são excretadas através da urina. O aumento dos valores destes metabólitos em nível sérico é subsídio para diagnóstico de alteração da função renal em mamíferos.

Para tanto, foi realizada colheita sangüínea de 45 animais, três amostras por coelho, totalizando 135 amostras, obtendo-se o soro por centrifugação imediata. Realizou-se o método colorimétrico e obtiveram-se valores de 36,44±10,66mg/dl de uréia, com mínimo de 9,24mg/dl e máximo de 66,06mg/dl; 0,94±0,22mg/dl para a creatinina, com mínimo de 0,51mg/dl e máximo de 1,53mg/dl e 72,41±29,68UI para fosfatase alcalina, com mínimo de 10,66UI e máximo de 167,39UI. A gama-glutamil transferase foi determinada pelo método cinético, revelando o valor de 6,85±3,31UI, mínimo de 2,0UI e máximo de 15,0UI. </span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; vertical-align: middle; line-height: 100%; text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; line-height: 100%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'">PALAVRAS-CHAVES: Bioquímica sérica, coelhos, função hepática, função renal.</span></p> |
