Effect of Low-temperature Environment on Contents of Serum Protein, Blood Sugar and Calcium in Rabbits / 环境与健康杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effects of low-temperature environment on the contents of serum protein, serum calcium and blood sugar in rabbits. Methods The rabbits were divided into three experiment groups, which were exposed to environment at 2, -4 and -6 ℃ respectively and one control group exposed to environment at room temperature of 16 ℃. After exposure for 30～60 min, the peripheral blood samples were collected from rabbits for determination of levels of blood sugar, serum protein and calcium. The anal temperatures and ECG of rabbits were also examined. Results The levels of blood sugar, serum protein and calcium of rabbits in experiment groups decreased with the decrease of environmental temperatures, and revealed significant differences compared with those of control group(P
