Abstract

A reference database comprising body weight gain, exploratory activity, hot plate response, serum biochemistry, haematology, organ weight (%) and a complete anatomopathological study containing non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions over 1200 Sprague-Dawley rats from 6 to 32 months is described. Comparisons between age and sex were analysed.
