Creator:

Johnston, Weldon Kearney

Abstract:

One hundred and fifty-one weanling rats of both sexes were fed control diets or diets containing 160 ppm diethylnitrosamine (DEN) or 150 ppm N-2-fluorenyl-acetamide (FAA). The carcinogen level was calculated so that the LD₅₀ should be achieved at about 17 weeks. Each carcinogen treatment was incorporated with three different diet...

The relationship of 5'-nucleotidase activity in lamb muscle tissue to sub-minimal selenium levels administered to their dams

Creator:

Arnold, Margaret Anna

Abstract:

White muscle disease or muscular dystrophy of sheep is a selenium responsive malady common to many areas with an inherent natural deficiency of selenium in the forage. The disease can be prevented in lambs by adding trace amounts (approximately 0.1 ppm) of selenium to the otherwise selenium deficient, forage fed...
