... mostly caused by the surgery preceding the removal of the pituitary, and no significant survival-promoting activity of the gland could be demonstrated.

...R. Padmanabhan; Shamer Singh The post-natal development in CF rats from 5 litters was followed anthropometrically from the day of delivery to day 75. Weight, CR length, tail length and patello-calcaneal length of individual rats were measured every day and the rate of gain per day was calculated...

...R. Padmanabhan; Shamer Singh The litter effect among natural litters (with minimal differences in size i.e. 6, 8 and 9) on the growth was studied in CF rats from post-conception (PC) day 22 to 90 by somatometric techniques. Body weight was found to be significantly low in larger litters up to PC...

... metacarpal dimensions are seen with regard to stature and weight. Sex differences in medullary diameter and percent cortical area are not related to sexual dimorphism in body size, while sex differences in cortical thickness are related to, but not fully explained by, differences in body size. Dimorphism...

...M. Silbermann; T. Kedar; P. Kovat Young mice were treated for up to 8 weeks with daily graded doses of triamcinolone diacetate. The body weights of treated, placebo and nontreated animals were measured daily throughout the experimental period, calculated and analysed. By the first injections...
