Influência de dieta com glúten nos perfil de variaveis hematologicas em Saguinus fuscicollis de cativeiro.

Abstract

Celiac disease is a genetic basis for disease signs and symptoms triggered by environmental interaction of a diet food sources glúten (wheat, rye and barley). This pathological condition has been related to Progressive Weight Loss Syndrome (SEP) which affects non human primates, because they have similar characteristics. The clinicai manifestations related to glúten, in humans and non-human primates, can trigger changes in haematological variables and gastrointestinal disorders. This study aimed to determine the profile of haematological parameters and evaluate the influence of a diet with glúten in haematological variables in saddle-back tamarin in captivity. The experiment was carried out with the animais of the colony of the National Primate Center. The characterization of the profile were evaluated hematological and biochemical markers in saddle-back tamarin. The results show that the erythrocytes parameters (He), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Ht) and erythrocyte coefficient of variation (RDW) were different for males and females. In measuring range Glutamill Transferase (GGT) males significantly different in females (P <0.05). The animais were evaluated four times during a period of 105 days, divided into acclimation period, trial and recovery, which altemated diet with glúten (DCG) and gluten-free diet (DSG). The measurements include blood samples, body weight, temperature and evaluating the stool consistency. The results compare the values between the sexes, revealing that the parameters hemoglobin, leucocytes, segmented neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, platelets and rods suffered no influence in different nutritional conditions. While He parameters Hb, HGM, CHGM and RDW they did not change only in females. So the diet with glúten was crucial to increase the frequency of diarrhea and changes in some hematological parameters. So the results raise the importance of the study of these markers to differentiate between genders in saddle-back tamarin and it is suggested that foods with wheat, rye or barley are not part of feeding the animais.
