Concentrações séricas de proteínas, metabólitos e enzimas do jacaré tinga Caiman crocodilus (CROCODYLIA, ALLIGATORIDAE) da região do médio Rio Araguaia

Abstract

Caiman crocodilus is popularly known as caimans, belonging to Sub Class Archosauria, Alligatoridae Family, subfamily Aligatorinae. The objective was to measure the variations of the biochemical constituents of Caimam free crocodilus, using 30 species belonging to the municipality of São Miguel do Araguaia - GO, Brazil. It was performed on each animal of both sexes, blood collection of 3ml by puncture cervical sinus using syringes, transferred into previously identified tubes without anticoagulant, the material was stored in their own boxes, and centrifuged at 5,000 rpm for 5 minutes to obtain serum, the material was stored in plastic bottle conical bottom (Eppendorf), identified and again cooled and sent to the Laboratory of Clinical Analysis of Faculdade Cidade Patos de Minas, where occurred the processing and determination of biochemical values through quantitative analysis of serum indicators. Analyses were processed in automatic analyzer (Flexor XL), and mean values were obtained for the following parameters: total protein, albumin, globulin, albumin / globulin, triglycerides, cholesterol, urea, creatinine, uric acid, glucose, amylase , alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase. The results and the respective standard deviations, were made in the tool Action (2013) and BioEstat 5.0 (Ayres et al., 2007). The values of blood biochemical parameters are generally similar to those described in the literature and the results can serve as a reference for diagnostic support in the studied species and other works of the same character of observation.
