摘要: (1) F1 litters from wild-caught Rattus norvegicus were maintained on surplus food and water in laboratory cages. (2) A relationship between age dried lens weight was derived by regression analysis of data ninety-six male 105 female rats sacrificed at various known ages up to 18 months birth. (3) single predictive equation (combining males females) is recommended for practical use which relates eylens a transformed measure age. The log10 (age + 22 days) = 1 313 0.021 (paired weight) where days the gestation period correlation coefficient 096.
