Overview

Randomized trial investigates selenium's role on cardiac activity in dromedary camels, suggesting limited impact under normal conditions.

Key Points

  • This study aims to investigate the relationship between selenium status and cardiac electrical activity in dromedary camels.
  • Analyzed 20 apparently healthy adult female camels aged around 10 years.
  • Measured Se concentrations in hair and blood serum using mass spectrometry.
  • Conducted ECG recordings to quantify multiple cardiac parameters.
  • Found mean Se concentrations of 0.61 mg kg-1 in hair and 133 ng ml-1 in serum.
  • Observed no significant correlation between Se levels and ECG parameters such as PR interval, QRS duration, or heart rate.
  • Noted occasional arrhythmias but excluded these instances from primary analysis.
