A Sex-determined Renal Calcification in Rats

A Sex-determined Renal Calcification in Rats AN examination of several hundred white Wistar rats from the only source of laboratory animals available to this institution revealed a 100 per cent incidence of renal calcification in female animals and a complete absence of this condition in males of the species. This situation also applied to pure line white Wistar, black Wistar and black and white Wistar strains but was not observed in several species of mice from the same source and fed the identical diet. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nature Springer Journals

Abstract

AN examination of several hundred white Wistar rats from the only source of laboratory animals available to this institution revealed a 100 per cent incidence of renal calcification in female animals and a complete absence of this condition in males of the species. This situation also applied to pure line white Wistar, black Wistar and black and white Wistar strains but was not observed in several species of mice from the same source and fed the identical diet.
