Strain differences in testes degeneration, myopathy, and the lymphocyte mitogen response in vitamin E-deficient rats
Abstract:
The differences in sensitivity to vitamin E deficiency were examined in two genetically related inbred strains of rat, the spontaneously hypertensive rat and its genetic ancestor, the Wistar-Kyoto rat, as well as in the outbred Sprague-Dawley strain. The three strains showed differences in growth rate, myopathy, testes degeneration, and immunological responses in response to vitamin E deficiency with the spontaneously hypertensive rat showing the greatest sensitivity to the deficiency.
