Abstract
The metabolism of glucose in birds is directly related to the secretion of insulin, since
this hormone exerts an anabolic function and at the same time that response is
reflected in the growth of these. There is little information on glucose in birds and its
relationship to metabolic diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus; information on
ostriches, glucose physiology, glucorregulation, the Krebs cycle is collected,
reference values and their interaction in metabolic diseases, fully understanding their
importance and further analyzing the glucometry tests implemented in other animal
species as well as in humans, as a field-level diagnostic aid; Finally, we compared
the literature found in the different databases with respect to glucose values in
ostriches and other birds.
A literature review and a systematic search was conducted with the help of academic
searchers; reported insulin values in ostriches range from 114.0 mg/dl to 361.0
mg/dl, compared to the values reported for a presence of Diabetes Mellitus with
values ranging from 500 - 1800mg/dl; in the same way the values reported in other
birds as in chickens, where they can reach almost 400mg/dl due to stress in their
management resulting in transient hyperglycemia; it also highlights the higher blood
glucose levels in females than in males, as a characteristic of their breeding,
incubation and courtship activities; to conclude, digital glycometry is highlighted as
the most widely used diagnostic method for glucose monitoring; In addition, there
are no metabolic alterations in any of the birds in the analyzed studies and the
different values are related to stress, sometimes the size, its time in flight, its ability
to run at high speeds and in females by courtship, incubation and breeding.
