Description
<p>The present study was conducted to reveal characteristic features of albino large rabbit (JW-AKT) which we formerly established a specific pathogen-free (SPF) colony. Body weights of JW-AKT rabbit at 52 weeks old was 5.7 ± 0.4 kg in males and 6.4 ± 0.4 kg in females. Weight of body, heart, lung and kidney in JW-AKT rabbit was significantly higher than in Japanese white and New Zealand white rabbits in both sexes. Though the body weight (BW) was rather lower in males, body length and brain weights tended to be higher in males than in females. Since body fat was significantly higher in females, what affects difference in BW is body fat, rather than the physical constitution of female JW-AKT rabbit. No critical sex difference was found in hematological parameters in JW-AKT rabbit. The results indicated that JW-AKT were about 1.5 times larger than the general laboratory rabbits with common properties in hematology. Thus, JW-AKT rabbit could be used as a novel SPF experimental animal model with some advantages in surgical experiments or collection of large amount of biological specimen.</p>
