Abstract
The purpose of this study was to obtain information of the serum protein concentrations in Podocnemis expansa. For this experiment, 25 animals from the laboratory of wild animals research (LAPAS) were used. The blood was collected from the vertebral sinus and transferred to vacutainer tubes without anticoagulants. The samples were processeded at Clinical Lab in the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Uberlândia.The medium values found for total proteins, albumine, globulines and albumin/globulin ratio (A/G) were 4.79±0.73 g/dL; 3.11±0.72 g/dL; 1.67±0.84 mg/dL and 2.91 ±2.75, respectively. This study represents a contribution to the referential serum protein values of the P. expansa.
