摘要
1 Arterial blood from 63 male (315-500 g) and 60 female (210-290 g) healthy Sprague-Dawley rats was analyzed for 16 hematological and 22 clinical chemistry parameters. 2 Nine of these parameters were associated with growth and developmental changes in males between 38-78 days and females 49-89 days of age. 3 Weight gain in both sexes followed patterns consistent with other studies using this strain, but interexperimental variation was as much as +/- 22%. 4 Rectal temperatures of females averaged 37.28 degrees C, being statistically greater (P<0.05) than the average male at 36.99 degrees C. 5 The data provide reference values for use in toxicological and other investigations.
