Description
Summary:<p>Glucose level (UV enzymatic method) and total protein level (Biuret method) were measured in the blood samples of the rats exposed to short-term starvation. We found a statistically significant increase in the glucose level in experimental animals during starvation, which is also evident in males and females in the experimental group (p &lt;0.05), while decrease in the total protein level was not statistically significant. During starvation, more significant weight loss was observed in females compared to males.</p><p>Key words: glucose, total protein, serum, Rattus</p>
