We made a comparative study on serum biochemical values of mature Mongolian gerbils between the wild-colored (agouti) and the coat color mutants of both sexes by autoanalyzers. The coat colors of the mutants were white spotted-agouti, albino, black and white spotted-black. All of serum biochemical values we measured of different coat color gerbils were not significantly different each other. We did not find any lipemic sera and any hyperglycemia in all coat color gerbils. Compare to the other common laboratory rodents, patterns and values of serum protein fractions of the gerbils were different. Namely, A/G ratios and rates of y-globulin fraction of gerbils were much higher than those of mice and rats and were the same as those of human beings.
