Variation in the Blood Chemical Constituents of Reindeer

Reindeer management in the Fennoscandian area is currently facing challenges such as degradation of winter pastures, which may lead in the most severely affected areas to a concurrent decline in reindeer herd productivity. The use of often expensive supplementary feeding to prevent production losses has increased the demand for studies on the physiological effects of nutritional restriction and...

Studies on the Chemistry of Blood Serum

In a recent publication 1 the author recorded the results of a chemical analysis of blood sera from different diseased conditions. It was observed that the proteins of the serum are subject to extensive variations, and in certain diseases the globulin fraction in the serum is greatly increased. In the serum of cases of chronic parenchymatous nephritis the increase in the globulin content is mos...
