Fourteen healthy young camels （age： 3-5 months）, 12 adult male and 10 female camels （age： 5-8 years） were used. Blood samples collected from the jugular vein were used for the determination of serum proteins by capillary electrophoresis technique. Female camels had significantly （P 〈 0.05） higher serum-[Protein] of 63.7 ± 6.6 g/L （reference range = 51-74 g/L） compared to the other age groups. Adult male camels showed significantly （P 〈 0.05） higher percentage of albumin fraction （60%） compared to the other age groups. The concentrations of ul and ct2 globulin fractions were significantly （P 〈 0.05） higher mean value in young camels compared to the other groups （3.5% and 8.5%, respectively）. 13-globulin fraction was not affected significantly by the age. The concentration of y-globulin fraction （26%） in lactating camels was higher （P 〈 0.05） compared to the other age groups. Significantly （P 〈 0.05） A/G ratio was observed in young camels. Sex had no significant effect on serum protein fractions. The results obtained were compared and interpreted in the light of finding reported by other investigators in camels, humans and other animals.展开更多
