Der Nachweis einer Wirkung des Klimas und Wetters auf das Wachstum der Ratte

Factors That Can Influence Animal Research

“…Rats consume approximately 5% more food when maintained at the same temperature but at 35% as compared to 75% RH (Weihe et al, 1961). Elevation in RH directly impacts the animals' ability to thermoregulate, as evaporative heat loss is essential for core body temperature control in homeotherms.…”
