Abstract
In this study, plasma glucose and lipid concentrations and cholesterol lipoprotein profile were measured and compared in 5 captive bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), 6 Thoroughbred riding horses and 12 lactating Holstein cows. Plasma glucose concentrations of cows (71.36±5.05 mg dL-1) were significantly lower than those of dolphins (107.00±16.20 mg dL-1) and horses. Plasma TG concentrations of dolphins (22.80±8.70 mg dL-1) were demonstrated significant difference compared to horses and cows (14.33±5.28 and 8.14±1.46 mg dL-1), respectively. Total cholesterol concentrations of horses (73.50±2.88 mg dL-1) were significantly lower than those of dolphins (195.20±61.20 mg dL-1). Furthermore, NEFA values of dolphins (0.32±0.12 mEq L-1) were demonstrated significant difference compared to horses and cows (0.04±0.02 and 0.09±0.03 mEq L-1, respectively). All animals showed HDL-cholesterol dominant patterns in plasma and dolphins and horses showed clear LDL-cholesterol peak which was lower than HDL-cholesterol.
