Abstract
The following determinations have been carried out on freshly-caught, fasting specimens of Agama persica: red cell count, haematocrit, hemoglobin content and blood glucose. The mean values obtained were: 0.812 x 106 /mm3, 25%, 7.0 g and 168 mg/100 ml respectively. Electrophoretic separation of serum and plasma proteins and of hemoglobin of Agma persica has been conducted. Five fractions were obtained for serum and plasma. No fibrinogen band was separated in the plasma pattern. Although there was no qualitative difference between the electrophoretic patterns of plasma and serum, the ل2, â and م globulins were consistently higher in the plasma than in the serum. The hemoglobin pattern showed a single component similar in its direction and mobility to human hemoglobin A.
