title: Reference Blood Chemistry Values Throughout the Lifespan of M. spretus.
abstract: In the present study, blood chemistry values for Mus spretus are reported and analyzed with respect to age and gender. Cholesterol values differ significantly (P = 0.01) between young (2 to 6 months) and aged (25 to 31 months) M. spretus, and direct or conjugated bilirubin values differ significantly (P = 0.01) between male and female animals. These findings indicate that cholesterol concentrations in M. spretus change with age and that direct bilirubin values differ depending on gender.
