Biochemical analysis on the lipids of the heart of the camel and cardiac Markerenzymes

Abstract EN

The aim of this study was to investigate the lipids and cardiac marker enzymes on the heart of the camel with myocardial bridges.

Blood samples were taken from seven adult camels showing myocardial bridges.

The samples were collected from Al-Buga´a slaughterhouse, Sudan.

The samples were analyzed biochemically for two cardiac enzymes (cardiac markers); Creatine kinase (CK) and Cardiac Troponin (T).

Values for (CK) ranged from 25-48 U\L, whereas those for (T) enzymes were almost negative.

Simultaneously fresh hearts of other 7 camels were used to study the total lipids, triglycerides and phospholipids, using biochemical techniques.

The obtained values for total lipids, triglycerides and phospholipids were ranging from (18.62- 22.55g) 84,0% (2.23-3.43g) 0.11 %and (0.37-0.60g) 19.0% respectively.

The obtained results for the enzyme markers suggest that myocardial bridges in camel heart may be normal feature although they are considered as anomalies elsewhere.
