The Laboratory Rat
By George J. Krinke
2000 Edition
This reference series will provide all researchers using laboratory
animals with comprehensive practical information on the various species.
Each title in the series is devoted to a particular species, and draws
together all available data in a "one-stop", easily accessible source.
Each has similar format, with sections on the strains available, their
husbandry, and special diets. Also included are sections on gross
anatomy, endocrinology, and reproduction, followed by more detailed
sections on neuroanatomy, vasculature, cell biology, and histology of
particular organs and structures, and a section on molecular biology.
High
quality illustrations are included throughout and a color plate section
is provided. A glossary, list of equipment suppliers, and "Quick
Reference Section" are added features. The "Quick Reference Section"
brings together all tables from the text, allowing readers to find data
swiftly.
