Abstract
Moulting Starlings (n=9) show increased plasma values of glucose: 314,2±24,96 mg/dl; the corresponding values were 277,5±28,8 for non-moulting birds (mean value over all periods: 295,6±32,2 mg/dl). In all other blood values (e. g. blood cells, hemoglobin, protein-concentration, osmotic pressure, hematocrit) no significant differences between moulting and non-moulting birds could be observed (Prinzinger &Hakimi 1996); e. g. plasma-cholesterin was 195,6±22,6 mg/dl (moulting) and 197,5±43,8 (non-moulting), respectively.
