Stability of hematological parameters of canine blood samples stored with citrate phosphate dextrose adenine-1 anticoagulated plastic vacutainers.

Aim: The effect of citrate phosphate dextrose adenine-1 on the hematological parameters of stored Nigerian indigenous dog's blood with plastic vacutainer was investigated. This was done in view of determining the viability and stability of the studied parameters for blood banking purpose. Till date, there is no literature on the stability of whole blood of Nigerian indigenous dogs for blood banking purposes.

assessment of time-dependent changes in red cell cytoplasmic antioxidants of donkey blood preserved in citrate phosphate dextrose adenine 1 anticoagulant.

Background And Aim: Stored blood is continuously exposed to oxidative stress, which affects its antioxidant protective system. Erythrocytes are naturally armed with antioxidant protective capacity. Blood antioxidant system functions to protect the blood cells against oxidative damage by free radicals.
