Adult Fischer-344 (F-344) rats fail to prefer NaCl solutions of any concentration to water and, in fact, avoid NaCl at solution concentrations which other strains of rats reliably prefer. In contrast, immature rats of a number of strains have been reported to express an elevated salt preference rela
The purpose of this study was to determine if 60 Hz magnetic fields can alter the clinical progression of leukemia in an animal model. Large granular lymphocytic (LGL) leukemia cells from spleens of leukemic rats were transplanted into young male Fischer 344 rats, producing signs of leukemia in appr
