Effects of inorganic mercury on reproductive performance of mice.

Effects of mercuric chloride (MC) on the reproductive performance of mice were evaluated. Both male and female mice were divided into four groups that were subsequently exposed to 0.00, 0.

Bioavailability of calcium from sweetpotato and soy flour supplemented diets in hamsters.

The bioavailability of calcium from two varieties of sweetpotatoes and supplementation of sweetpotatoes with soy flour was investigated in hamsters using plasma calcium concentration and femur calcium content as indicators. Five different diets were fed to five groups of animals for 28 days. There was no significant difference in plasma calcium concentrations of hamsters in all the diet groups.

Nutritional assessment of transgenic sweetpotato on body weight, lipid, and protein status in hamsters.

The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the nutritional quality of genetically modified sweetpotato (genotype PI318846-3) on growth, lipid metabolism, and protein metabolism of hamsters. Three different diets made with transgenic and nontransgenic sweetpotato protein flour including a control diet with casein were fed to male Golden Syrian hamsters for 28 days. The protein efficiency ratio (1.
