  • Title: Comparative haematology and blood chemistry of endangered lizards (Gallotia species) in the Canary Islands.
    Author: Martínez Silvestre A, Rodríguez Domínguez MA, Mateo JA, Pastor J, Marco I, Lavín S, Cuenca R.
    Journal: Vet Rec; 2004 Aug 28; 155(9):266-9. PubMed ID: 15461364.
    Abstract:
    Blood samples were taken from the ventral coccygeal vein of 15 El Hierro giant lizards (Gallotia simonyi) (seven females and eight males), six La Gomera giant lizards (Gallotia bravoana) (four males and two females) and four Tenerife giant lizards (Gallotia intermedia) (two males and two females), and 31 blood parameters were measured. Among the haematological parameters there were significant differences between the three species in heterophils, azurophils and lymphocytes, but no significant differences in red blood cell count, white blood cell count, haemoglobin, packed-cell volume, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils. In terms of blood chemistry there were significant differences between the three species in cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, sodium, chloride, urea, uric acid, total proteins, prealbumin, albumin and gamma globulins, but no significant differences in calcium, potassium, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, creatine kinase, bile acids, alpha-1 and alpha-2 globulins and beta globulins.
