Abstract

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) , mean cell hemoglobin (MCHb) as 167.88 (87.78 – 257.89) pg and mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHbC) as 251.43 (160.87 – 387.50) g/l. Seasonal changes were detected in erythrocyte count and related parameters (Hb, HCT, MCV, MCHb, and MCHbC). There are small differences between sexes in terms of these values although they are statistically insignificant. Nevertheless, neither seasonal nor sex-based variations were observed in leukocyte and thrombocyte count values. Small seasonal differences are observed in terms of cell sizes although they are concluded to be individual variations.

Abstract

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
