323EFFECTS OF CHROMIUM ON SOME HAEMATO-BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN DOMESTIC RABBITSThe objective of this study is to assess the effect of chromium (3.4 mg/kgm daily for 90 days) on some blood indices of adult rabbits weighting 1000-1300g. Administration of chromium for this period decreased total protein, total albumin, total globulin and cholinesterase values. The decrements were 41.18%, 49.36%, 33.16% and 3.80% respectively, compared to control level. On the other hand, it increased levels of kidney function indices as sodium and calcium were 42.62% and 90% respectively. The effect of chromium was studied on the activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine amino transferase (ALT) and serum aspartate amino transferase (AST) with increment value 13.15%, 14.32% and 4.15% respectively. The hematological parameters were shown obvious changes in the increment of white blood cells (WBC), lymphocyte and MCHC values and the decrement of red blood cells (RBC), hematocrit, hemoglobin (Hb), MCV, MCH and platelets count in response to administration of chromiumaaldalou@yahoo.comResearch4122013Chromium,Rabbits,Blood indices,Gaza PalestineAyoub R.
