Abstract
- Unilateral adrenalectomy was performed in six black Bengal goat (Capra hircus)to study electrocardiograph in connection with mineral metabolism with special reference to sodium and potassium and some other factors of physiological importance. The parameters were studied at every 12 hrs interval upto 120 hrs and 24 hrs interval from 120 to 240 hrs.Physiological parameters, like body weight and rectal temperature, changed non-significantly (p<0.05)after adrenalectomy. Among minerals, plasma sodium (p<0.01)and plasma potassium (p<0.05) concentration were changed significantly between hours leaving impression in ECG as widening of QRS complex and peaked T wave with increased amplitude found after unilateral adrenalectomy. Heart rate also increased significantly (p<0.01)between hours.
