Steroid-Associated Hip Joint Collapse in Bipedal Emus
Figure 2
Hematological evaluation of emus in SAON group.
(A) Time course changes in percentage of neutrophils (Neut %) in blood: Neut% was significantly increased at 2 weeks post SAON-induction (*: p<0.05, compared with baseline, n = 5). (B) Time course changes in serum parameters related to lipid metabolism: TC significantly increased at each time point post SAON-induction. LDL and the ratio between LDL and HDL also significantly increased at each time point post SAON-induction (*: p<0.05, compared with baseline, n = 5). (C) Time course changes in serum parameters related to coagulation: no significant difference was found in coagulation-related parameters after induction as compared with baseline.
