Abstract: Objective To determine the blood physiology, serum biochemistry and routine urinalysis of the naked mole rat. Methods The blood, serum and urine samples from naked mole rats were analyzed by using automated hematology analyzer, biochemistry analyzer and urine analyzer, respectively. Results Haemal physiological parameters, biochemical values and routine urinalysis were determined in naked mole rats of different ages (3 months, 6 months and 9 weeks of age) and gender. Some haemal physiological parameters were influenced by age and gender, showing significant differences. Conclusion Haemal physiological, biochemical values and urine values of naked mole were determined, laying a foundation for future research of the naked mole rat.
