Hematology of the Uludağ Frog, Rana macrocnemis Boulenger, 1885 in Uludağ National Park (Bursa, Turkey)

Uludağ Milli Parkı’nda uludağ kurbağası, Rana macrocnemis Boulenger, 1885’in hematolojisi (Bursa, Türkiye). Uludağ Milli Parkı’ından, 30 (15 ♂♂, 15 ♀♀) ergin Rana macrocnemis örneğinde bazı hematolojik parametreler ve periferal kan hücrelerinin (eritrosit, lökosit, trombosit) morfolojisindeki mevsimsel değişimler istatistiksel ve histolojik yöntemlerle incelenmiştir. 1 mm3 kandaki eritrosit sayısı, 514,839 (280,000 – 940,000); lökosit sayısı, 3,527 (2,600 – 5,200); trombosit sayısı, 31,069 (20,000 – 50,000); hemoglobin miktarı (Hb), 8.10 (5.60 – 12.10) g/dl; hematokrit değeri (HCT), 0.34 (0.16 – 0.46) L/l; ortalama hücre hacmi (MCV), 694.54 (420.45 – 1105.26) fl; ortalama hücre hemoglobini (MCHb), 167.88 (87.78 – 257.89) pg; ortalama hücre hemoglobin konsantrasyonu (MCHbC), 251.43 (160.87 – 387.50) g/l olarak hesaplanmıştır. Eritrosit sayısı ile ilgili parametreler açısından (Hb, HCT, MCV, MCHb ve MCHbC) mevsimsel değişimler saptanmıştır. Bu değerler açısından cinsiyetler arasında da küçük farklılıklar olsa da istatistiki açından önemsizdir. Buna karşın, lökösit ve trombosit sayısı değerleri açısından gerek mevsimsel ve gerekse cinsiyete bağlı varyasyonlar gözlenmemiştir. Hücre büyüklükleri açısından küçük mevsimsel farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir. Fakat bunların bireysel varyasyonlar olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

Uludağ Milli Parkı'nda Uludağ kurbağası, Rana macrocnemis Boulenger, 1885'in hematolojisi (Bursa, Türkiye)

Seasonal change of some hematological parameters and cytomorphometry of blood cells (erythrocyte, leukocyte and thrombocyte) were studied statistically and histologically in a total of 30 (15 ♂♂, 15 ♀♀) adult individuals of Rana macrocnemis from Uludağ National Park. In 1 mm3 of blood, erythrocyte count was estimated as 514,839 (280,000 – 940,000), leukocyte count as 3,527 (2,600 – 5,200), thrombocyte count as 31,069 (20,000 – 50,000), hemoglobin amount (Hb) as 8.10 (5.60 – 12.10) g/dl, hematocrit value (HCT) as 0.34 (0.16 – 0.46) L/l, mean cell volume (MCV) as 694.54 (420.45 – 1105.26)
