Sažetak
The plasma biochemical values of apparently healthy adult wild African giant rat (Cricetomys gambianus Waterhouse) and those of adult wild West African hinge backed tortoise (Kinixys erosa) were determined. The sodium (Na), chloride (Cl), biocarbonate (HCO3), total protein and globulin levels were significantly higher but the glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), cholesterol and urea levels were significantly lower in the African giant rat than in the hinge backed tortoise. The levels of potassium (K), calcium (Ca), albumin, glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT), gama-glutamate transferase (GGT), triglyceride and creatinine were similar in the two species of animals.
