Forty-three female and 44 male, sexually mature normal African sand rats (Mystromys albicaudatus) provided serum and urine for determining normal ranges of selected serum chemistry and electrolyte determinations and for routine nonfasted urinalyses. Serum chloride and serum glucose levels were greater and serum sodium levels lower for female rats. An unusually high physiological level of urine protein was detected, and it was determined that standard dipstick methods for determining urine protein levels in this species gave artificially high results. Ketouria and glycosuria were more common in males than in females, but these determinations were not correlated to blood urea nitrogen or to serum glucose levels. No association was found between body weight and any of the serum chemistry, electrolyte or urinalysis variables examined.
43只雌性和44只雄性性成熟的正常非洲沙鼠（白尾匙鼠）提供了血清和尿液，用于确定所选血清化学和电解质测定的正常范围以及进行常规非空腹尿液分析。雌性大鼠的血清氯和血清葡萄糖水平较高，血清钠水平较低。检测到尿液蛋白的生理水平异常高，并且确定用于测定该物种尿液蛋白水平的标准试纸法给出了人为偏高的结果。酮尿症和糖尿症在雄性中比在雌性中更常见，但这些测定与血尿素氮或血清葡萄糖水平无关。在体重与所检查的任何血清化学、电解质或尿液分析变量之间未发现关联。
