Development and justification of alimentary dystrophy experimental model in rats

Abstract

Influence of complete and partial alimentary deprivation on animals’ physical condition was experimentally studied on 40 male rats divided into four groups. An optimal model of alimentary dystrophy has been developed which seems to be beneficial in studying various schemes of supplementary nutrition. It is hoped that the results of this study could be used in developing management strategy for correction of supplementary nutrition in case of alimentary dystrophy.
