Resumen
Las variaciones en la masa corporal pueden alterar el equilibrio de oligoelementos y macrominerales en la fauna silvestre. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la asociación entre diferentes rasgos antropométricos (altura a la cruz, longitud de la nariz a la cola, largo de la cola, largo de las orejas, largo de las patas delanteras y circunferencia torácica), así como la edad y el peso corporal, con algunos metabolitos y minerales séricos en venadas de cola blanca (Odocoileus virginianus texanus) gestantes en agostadero (n = 28) en el norte de México. El análisis de componentes principales reveló diferencias en la concentración de glucosa asociadas con las dimensiones corporales. Se observaron correlaciones negativas significativas (p < 0.01) entre la altura a la cruz y la glucosa sérica (r = -0.54), así como entre la longitud de la nariz a la cola y el colesterol sérico (r = -0.46). En contraste, la altura a la cruz (r = 0.44) y la longitud de la nariz a la cola (r = 0.38) se correlacionaron positivamente (p < 0.05) con las concentraciones séricas de hierro. Asimismo, el largo de la cola y de las orejas se asoció positivamente con el fósforo (r = 0.42 y 0.43, respectivamente; p < 0.05), mientras que el largo de la cola se correlacionó positivamente con el cobre (r = 0.49; p < 0.01). Algunas medidas indicativas del tamaño corporal se asociaron negativamente con metabolitos séricos relacionados con el estado nutricional. En general, las venadas más pequeñas presentaron un perfil metabólico sanguíneo potencialmente más favorable que las venadas de mayor tamaño. Los metabolitos sanguíneos indicativos del estado nutricional pueden ser útiles para describir las dimensiones corporales de las venedas.
