Pathology, microbiology, and selected serum chemistries were evaluated in 144 male Fischer rats from 4 to 33 mo of age. The rats were reared and maintained under barrier conditions, which successfully excluded the introduction of major infectious disease agents throughout the entire study, including Mycoplasma pulmonis. A wide variety of pathology was found and tabulated, and many lesions were found to increase in severity and incidence with age. There was a high correlation of renal disease severity with increasing age, while alpha-1 globulin and cholesterol increased.
对144只4至33月龄的雄性Fischer大鼠进行了病理学、微生物学及选定血清化学指标的评估。这些大鼠在屏障条件下饲养和维持,在整个研究过程中成功排除了主要传染病原体的引入,包括肺支原体。发现了多种病理学情况并进行了列表统计,许多病变的严重程度和发病率随年龄增长而增加。肾脏疾病严重程度与年龄增长高度相关,同时α-1球蛋白和胆固醇升高。
