“…The recorded mean values of blood serum T 4 and T 3 concentrations in dromedary camels in the Egyptian oasis were 80.59±2.274 nmol/l (35.91-124.1 nmol/l) and 1.179±0.030 nmol/l (0.552-1.691 nmol/l) respectively. These values were lower than those reported by Wasfi, et al (1987) in Saudi Arabia who recorded values of 17.92±1.19 µg/dl (230.63±15.32 nmol/l) and 9.33±1.15 ng/ml (1.43±0.18 nmol/l) as normal camel serum total T 4 and T 3 levels respectively. The values were also lower than those reported by Abu Damir, et al (1990) for normal and affected camels with clinical and subclinical goiter in the Kordofan region of the Sudan.…”

“…Ibrahim, et al (1984) found hypertriglyceridaemia in hypothyroid Nubian goats. Wasfi, et al (1987) found poor correlation between either T 3 or T 4 and cholesterol levels in camels in Saudi Arabia. However, Faye and Bengoumi (1994) reported that camels are more sensitive to iodine deficiency than the other domestic ruminants.…”

“…In camels, plasma testosterone concentrations have been found to be correlated significantly with the contents Na + , K + , Ca ++ and Mg + + in all genital organs but only with epididymal contents of phosphorus and iron (Zia-ur-Rahman et al 2007). But the serum cholesterol level generally varies inversely with thyroid activity (Bartley 1989;Gueorguieva and Gueorguiev 1997) and the concentrations of thyroid hormones do not correlate with cholesterol level in camels (Wasfi et al 1987) as in goat (Nazifi et al 2002).…”

Thyroid hormones might be able to regulate the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GPX). The role of thyroid hormones in metabolic pathways and antioxidant enzyme activities are well known in many species. Nevertheless, there is no report describing probable relationship between thyroid hormones status, erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes and serum profiles of trace elements. This study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between these parameters in Iranian dromedary camels. Blood samples were taken from the jugular vein of 30 clinically healthy Iranian dromedary camels under aseptic conditions during 6 consecutive days of summer. The serum was analyzed for serum profile of thyroid hormones, trace elements, SOD and GPX activity. There were no significant differences in serum thyroid hormones, serum level of zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), selenium and antioxidant enzymes in different days (P > 0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between SOD and Fe (P < 0.01, r = -493). There was no significant correlation between other parameters. In case of copper deficiency likewise the present study, the copper was used to produce more SOD, so there was a decrease in Fe transportation, and it might be a cause of decrease in Fe amount. On the other hand, a relatively small quantity of Fe is present in tissue myoglobin, catalase, peroxidases, and cytochromes. So it might be another cause of decrease in Fe amount. The explanation for these finding is not possible at this moment and further investigations are needed to interpret these changes.

“…Interestingly, present data showed a significant increase in plasma lipids including TL, PL, TG, TC, and LDL in farm camels compared to grazing ones. In literature, serum TG was reported to be affected by animal diet (Wasfi et al, 1987). Lipidic parameters are affected by hydration, PL increase (Bengoumi, 1992), TL level increases in the wet season (Mohamed, 2008) and could be modulated by the energy level of the diet (Adel and El-Metwaly, 2012).…”
