The propose of this study was to investigate the effect of pregnancy on hematological and biochemical
parameters. This parameters were measured in 20 blood samples collected from 10 pregnant and 10 non- pregnant
captive mountain gazelles (Gazella gazella) in Saudi Arabia. The effects of pregnancy on the intracellular
concentrations of sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Alanine amino Transferase (ALT),
Aspartate amino Transferase (AST), Total protein, albumin, Alkaline Phosphatase (AP), Creatinine, Cholesterol and
Triglyceride were analyzed. The levels of Sodium ions, GGT, ALT, AST, cholesterol and triglycerides were
significantly (p<0.01) increased in pregnant group compared to non-pregnant group. These result due to the
physiological and metabolism changes during pregnancy. So this study suggested to supply pregnant Gazelles with
proteins during pregnancy.
Key words: Biochemistry, gazelle, heamatology, metabolism, pregnancy, reproduction,
