| Abstract |
|
Concentrations of blood protein and urea were measured in captive Sternotherus carinatus, S. depressus, S. minor and S. odoratus. Different levels of plasma urea were observed comparing S. minor and S. depressus to S. ordoratus. Interspecific variation in total plasma protein was not observed. Fasted S. odoratus showed decreased plasma urea and protein concentrations compared to all turtles which were fed. Only 1 Sternotherus individual had a higher concentration of urea in plasma compared to bladder urine.
