ABSTRACT Swiss mice and Wistar rats, maintained in the Bioterium of the Laboratory of Pharmaceutics Technology/UFPB, were analysed through haematological (hemogram and platelets) and biochemistry (glucose, urea, creatinine, total cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, total proteins and fractions, alkaline phosphatase, transaminases, sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium) determinations. The blood analysed was obtained from the brachial plexus bloodletting. It was detected that there are variations in the parameters among males and females investigated and so in relation to the values obtained from other searchers. DESCRIPTORS Bioterium. Mice. Rats.
