Abstract:
A simple and inexpensive rat diuresis cage is described. It may be constructed from thin aluminium sheeting in combination with a standard laboratory holding cage. Application of a low resistance PTFE coating reduces urine losses to a level better than a leading commercial design. Some physiological strain comparison data obtained using the cage are given.
