Book Description
In the years since the third edition of this indispensable reference was published, a great deal has been learned about the nutritional requirements of common laboratory species: rat, mouse, guinea pig, hamster, gerbil, and vole. The Fourth Revised Edition presents the current expert understanding of the lipid, carbohydrate, protein, mineral, vitamin, and other nutritional needs of these animals. The extensive use of tables provides easy access to a wealth of comprehensive data and resource information. The volume also provides an expanded background discussion of general dietary considerations. In addition to a more user-friendly organization, new features in this edition include: A significantly expanded section on dietary requirements for rats, reporting substantial new findings. A new section on nutrients that are not required but that may produce beneficial results. New information on growth and reproductive performance among the most commonly used strains of rats and mice and on several hamster species. An expanded discussion of diet formulation and preparationâ€"including sample diets of both purified and natural ingredients. New information on mineral deficiency and toxicity, including warning signs. This authoritative resource will be important to researchers, laboratory technicians, and manufacturers of laboratory animal feed.

Book Description
Diet and Health examines the many complex issues concerning diet and its role in increasing or decreasing the risk of chronic disease. It proposes dietary recommendations for reducing the risk of the major diseases and causes of death today: atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (including heart attack and stroke), cancer, high blood pressure, obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, liver disease, and dental caries.

Book Description
Two experiments using weanling rats fed purified diets with different levels of ANRC casein were conducted in order to compare their body nitrogen retention (NR)J by carcass analysis (CA) and nitrogen balance (NB) assay methods and to evaluate the effects of the protein level on N^ values and body composition. The results of the first experiment showed that rats were able to maintain their initial weights only during the first ten days of ad libitum feeding on a 3.8% protein diet but not afterwards. In the second experiment, and at every fed protein level (3.4, 10 and 20%) separately, the slightly higher differences that were observed in N values as measured by NB in comparison to CA method were not significant (p > 0.05) over the ten days feeding period of the balance study. Such differences were considered to be within the biological error limits. It can be concluded that either method (NB or CA) can be satisfactorily used for the determination of N^ parameter in wean ling rats, by either assay method. The protein level in the fed diets appears to exert a major influence on the magnitude of the difference between N^ values as determined by either method, since it varied from as high as 12* to a low as 3* on the 20 and 10* protein diets, respectively. The results also showed that an increase in dietary protein level (or a decrease in the energy: protein ratio of fed diet) is associated with a linear increase in % body water, a nonlinear increase in X body fat (highest at 10* protein level) and no change in X body protein content. And that the maintenance group of animals (on 3.4X protein diet) had an altered body composition characterized by accretion of fat and no change in X body protein content after ten days of the feeding duration.
