英文摘要 | ’Krafft disease’, occurring in camels living in the very arid areas of North Africa, is characterized by spontaneous fractures of costal and/or appendicular bones. To better understand the mechanisms of this, we studied the influence of water restriction on plasma and urinary markers of bone metabolism in camels. Eight 2-year-old nonpregnant, nonlactating camels were studied at the research station of Laayoune (Morocco). After a 10 day period of daily watering, five animals were watered only every 10th day over a 50 day period, then again watered daily for a final 10 day period (rehydration). The three control animals were watered daily throughout the whole experimental period (70 days). Each camel was fed a ration of straw, lucerne hay and barley, resulting in a daily intake of 25 g calcium and 11 g phosphorus. Water restriction induced a decrease in daily urinary volume and an increase in plasma osmolality. These symptoms of dehydration were not associated with any significant change either in the markers of osteoblastic activity (plasma alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcine concentration) or in the markers of bone resorption (urinary excretion of calcium, hydroxyproline pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline). Thus, in well-fed camels, water restriction did not affect bone metabolism. However, no conclusions were possible regarding the influence of dehydration or calcium and/or phosphorus deficiency in the etiology of ’Kraft disease’. |
