Plasma Glucose and Insulin Profiles in Ketotic Buffaloes

Abstract

simultaneous decrease in the values of plasma glucose and insulin was observed in 24 ketotic buffaloes. The mean glucose level before treatment was estimated to 37.68 ± 0.84 mg/dl, whereas insulin concentration estimated to a mean of 15.82 ± 0.35 μu/ ml. At clinical recovery elevated values to a mean of 59.00 ± 1.31 mg/dl and 24.37 ± 1.51 μu/ ml respectively were estimated. Thus resulting in a corresponding improvement in the values of both parameters.
