Abstract

1. 1. Twenty-four hour changes in lysozyme level, total plasma protein concentration, γ-globulin concentration, leucocyte number and different forms of leucocyte in the peripheral blood of male chinchillas and rabbits were investigated. 2. 2. All investigated parameters in both species showed statistically significant 24-hr changes, but only total plasma protein concentration in rabbits and γ-globulin concentration and leucocyte number in chinchillas have a arcadian rhythm character. 3. 3. The cosine curve characteristics for these rhythms are as follows; acrophases 0.45+ 2.18 hr, 10.02 + 4.29 hr, 2.14 +3.20 hr; amplitudes 0.48 + 0.32 g%, 0.34 + 0.41 g%, 1,12 + 0.88 × 10 3/min 3; mesors 6.10 +0.22 g%, 2.23 + 0.21 g%, 8.78 + 0.65 × 10 3/mm 3, respectively.
