Abstract This paper deals with biochemical reference values of tree shrews(Tupaia belangeri chinensis)on serology by routine methods in general hospital, and compares the results with ether publications concerned in some main items(Table 6-8).All of 81 adult animals(38 ♂,43 ♀ )tested in this research were fed less than a month in captivity,and feeding were banned for 16 hours before taking blood samples for observations.No anaesthetic was to be applied when blood was being taken. Some differences were discovered between species and subspecies, such as in serum protein fractions, blood sugar levels, serum albumins and serum cholesterol levels etc.The blood sugar values of tree shrews in wild were lower than values of those in cage.In wild conditions,the blood sngar value of T.g.sordida is higher than that of T. g. ferrugenia, and seems to become a distinguishable characteristic between species and subspecies.Different results in the three tests for T.b.chinensis made by LIN Jiq-iang(1984),DAI Changbai(1983)and the authors maybe due to the errors in test method as well as in what technique is used and how long the feeding time is.
