Impact of menstruation on select hematology and clinical chemistry variables in cynomolgus macaques

Abstract: Background: In preclinical studies with cynomolgus macaques, it is common to have one or more females presenting with menses. Published literature indicates that the blood lost during menses causes decreases in red blood cell mass variables (RBC, HGB, and HCT), which would be a confounding factor in the interpretation of drug-related effects on clinical pathology data, but no scientific data have been published to support this claim. Objectives: This investigation was conducted to determine if the amount of bl… Show more

“…The mean hemoglobin, HbF, MCH, RBC, MCV, RDW, eosinophils, bilirubin total, ALP, and creatinine were different between females and males, with most deviations happening after the age of 15 years. This is likely due to the start of the menstruation period, which has also been associated with changes in levels of these parameters in female macaques [31].…”
