Serum cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose and total bilirubin concentrations, as functions of age and sex, in Sinclair(S-1) miniature swine. 1976

M E Tumbleson, and K W Hicklin, and M F Burks

Venous blood samples were collected monthly from 60 male and 60 female Sinclair (S-1) miniature swine from 1 through 36 months of age. Serum cholesterol concentration decreased from 5 through 36 months of age. Also, gilts had a greater mean serum cholesterol concentration than did boars. Mean serum triglyceride concentration was greater for females than for males. From 1 through 15 months of age, serum glucose concentration decreased with no sex related difference. From 1 1/2 to 3 years of age, gilts had greater mean serum glucose concentrations than did boars. Throughout the longitudinal study, mean serum total bilirubin concentrations were similar for females and males, with no age related variations.
