There were used 40 pubescent outbred female rats and their 200 pups born during experiment. In particular, female rats underwent leeching in the subscapular region 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after mating by applying medical leeches weighing 400 ± 10 mg. Next, relevant progeny was examined at day 1, 15, 30, 45, and 60 after birth, whereas female rats– after weaning. Experiment was designed to assess diverse parameters in accordance with the age-related rat development: newborn pups – 1-5 days old, day 6-21 – suckling period, day 22-50 – onset of puberty, day 60 onward – puberty. After measuring body morphometric parameters, female rats were sacrificed by decapitation under ether narcosis on day 60, whereas rat pups – at various time points. followed by autopsy and collecting blood sample into a sterile centrifuge tube by using 2% Spofa crystalline heparin (8:1) to be further examined by standard assays: morphometry of rat body, spleen and thymus; measuring total leukocyte count; CBC with differential; RBC; hemoglobin level; color index.
