Abstract
Urinary constituents (Na, K, Ca, Mg, and sugar) and blood sugar were measured, using snake-head fish, Channa argus, and the following results were obtained. 1. Average levels of urinary Na, K, Ca, and Mg were 16.96, 2.75, 1.59, and 1.03 mEq/L, respectively. 2. A small amount of sugar (2.2-10.5mg%) was commonly detected in the urine of intact snake-head fish. Occasionally, greater amounts of sugar (17.8-54.5mg%) were found in the urine of these fish. The mean blood sugar level of 31 fish was 76.2±4.5mg%. 3. Treatment of alloxan (200mg/kg body weight) induced an increase in urinary sugar. Blood and urinary sugar levels were 53 to 154, and 17 to 281mg%, respectively.
