Profil hematologi tikus (rattus norvegicus) galur sprague-dawley jantan umur 7 dan 10 minggu: Hematology profile of sprague-dawley male rats (rattus norvegicus)

Currently, the normal hematology profile has not been yet available for outbred rats in Indonesia. Most of the researchers use the data of hematology profile from references outside Indonesia in which the breeding environment is different. This study aimed to obtain a hematology profile of Sprague-Dawley male rats aged 7 and 10 weeks. The animals were obtained from the Laboratory of Animal Experiment, NADFC. Blood was drawn from the retro�orbital sinus and then analyzed to obtain the hematology profile including erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, leukocytes. Statistically significant differences for erythrocytes, hemoglobin, MCV, MCHC, thrombocyte, and leukocytes parameters were observed between rats aged 7 and 10 weeks. However, there were no statistically significant differences observed on MCH, thrombocyte, and body weight parameters. Data presented here would be useful as a reference for hematology research as well as in evaluating alterations in blood parameters.
