Study of possible correlations between body weights and brain parameters in neonatal and mature rats.

摘要: Correlations between body weight, cerebral DNA (cell number) and protein have been studied in a population of 249 neonatal (29 litters) 107 adult normal rats. It was found that, on statistical basis, an individual with heavier weight is also likely to higher protein. For sample this size, each pair these parameters significantly correlated. In animals the significance correlations weights disappears, but remain significant.
