✦ Synopsis


Although both male and female mice of different ages expelled surgically implanted glass beads with diameters of 1 mm and 0.5 mm within 5 weeks in comparable numbers, urinary stones formed in relation to these implanted beads more frequently in male mice than in females. This stone formation in male mice may be a consequence of the relatively high mucoprotein content in the urine of the male mouse.
