Values are mean±SEM. n=18.
Normal range value: GLU (85–160), CREA (0.5–2.1), BUN (6–30), PHOS (3.6–9.2), CA (6.5–11.4), TP (6.0–8.0), ALB (1.8–3.3), GLOB (2.5–4.5), ALT (9–43), ALKP (92–294), GGT (16–30), TBIL (0.1–0.3), CHOL (18–79), AMYL (271–1198), LIPA (10–44).
GLU, glucose; CREA, creatinine; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; PHOS, phosphate; CA, calcium; TP, total protein (TP=ALB+GLOB); ALB, albumin globulin; GLOB, globulin; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; ALKP, alkaline phosphatase; GGT, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase; TBIL, total bilirubin, CHOL, cholesterol; AMYL, amylase; LIPA, lipase. All traits in the table were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test.
