SOME ENZYMATIC ACTIVITIES AND BLOOD PARAMETERS IN FOLLICULAR FLUID AND SERUM OF NON PREGNANT SHE-CAMEL (Camelus dromadorious)

The present study dealt with some basic information on the follicular fluid constituents of non pregnant She-Camel. The results indicated the following findings and conclusions:
1. GOT activity appeared to be higher in the follicular fluid than in serum of animals having small and medium size follicles, while its activity in the follicular fluid of large size follicles was significantly lower than in serum.
2. GPT activity increased in those having large size follicles than in the serum, while its activity in the small follicles represents a significant decrease than in the serum.
3. Acid phosphatase activity dropped significantly in the serum of animals having large size follicles, while its activity in the follicular fluid showed fluctuation with highest activity in animals having small size follicles and with lowest activity in medium size ones.
4. There were no significant differences in alkaline phosphatase activity of folliclular fluid of different groups. However its activity in the follicular fluid was significantly higher than that in the serum.
5. Concerning the electrolytes, the sodium and potassium levels were significantly higher in serum than follicular fluid of large size follicles. However, their levels in the follicular fluid of small and medium size follicles were significantly higher than in serum.
There were no significant differences in the calcium level of both serum and follicular fluid. It showed a lower level in medium size follicles and higher values in small ones rather than in the serum.
