R. Karmakar et Sn. Kundu, VARIATIONS IN DIURNAL RHYTHM OF LEUKOCYTES IN WHITE LEGHORN CHICKS OF2 DIFFERENT AGES, Folia biologica, 41(2), 1995, pp. 106-111
Blood leucocytes in 4-week-old and 5-7-month-old White Leghorn cockere
ls show a diurnal rhythm. This diurnal rhythm has been observed to var
y with age. The variations observed may be due to the different hormon
al status of the two groups of birds. The effects of drugs at differen
t phases of the diurnal rhythm will be of great interest in medical pr
actice and should be considered during clinical treatment.
