THE NORMAL BLOOD CHEMISTRY OF THE BEAVER (CASTOR CANADENSIS): B. BLOOD GLUCOSE, TOTAL PROTEIN, ALBUMIN, GLOBULIN, FIBRINOGEN, NON-PROTEIN NITROGEN, AMINO ACID NITROGEN, CREATINE, CREATININE, CHOLESTEROL, AND VOLATILE FATTY ACIDS

Abstract
Blood glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin, fibrinogen, non-protein nitrogen, amino acid nitrogen, creatine, creatinine, cholesterol, and volatile fatty acids have been determined on blood samples taken from yearling and adult beavers. In most cases the values of the summer determinations are much lower than those taken in the fall for the two age classes under study. Where different, the blood values of adult beaver are higher than those of yearlings.
