Table 1 Effects of total individual dose rate and body condition index on physiological blood parameters of adult breeding Eastern tree frog (Hyla orientalis) males inhabiting within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Abbreviations are: sodium (Na), potassium (K), chloride (Cl), ionized calcium (iCa), total carbon dioxide (TCO2), glucose (Glu), urea nitrogen (BUN), and anion gap (AnGap)
