Physiological changes in hairless mice maintained on an antioxidant supplemented diet

Experientia. 1977 Jan 15;33(1):41-2. doi: 10.1007/BF01936742.

Abstract

Several physiological parameters were measured in hairless mice maintained on a diet supplemented with antioxidants. Comparisons to animals on control diet revealed higher water-soluble antioxidant content of skin and increased liver weight. Only small differences in body weight occurred and no distinct histological changes were observed in skin or liver.
