The Occurrence and Trend of Spontaneous Variations in Organ Weights of Normal Rabbits
نویسندگان
چکیده
Records of organ weights of normal rabbits covering a period of 3(1/2) years were analyzed with a view to determining first, whether any significant variations of an orderly character could be demonstrated and, second, the general trend of the variations that occurred. It was found that many organs showed decided variations in weight which assumed the form of definite annual cycles. In addition, there was some evidence of a second cycle covering a period of years. These changes were most marked in the case of the endocrine glands (including the testicles), the lymphoid organs, and the liver.

The Occurrence and Trend of Spontaneous Variations in Organ Weights of Normal Rabbits. by Wade
It is generally recognized that the weights of organs, in proportion to body weight, show wide variations in animals of a given species, that they may differ in the two sexes, and that the ratio of organ to body weight changes with age or development. It has also been found that the weights of some organs, notably the endocrine glands, may be affected by other factors such as dietary and climat...
متن کاملOrgan Weights of Normal Rabbits
In November, 1921, a systematic study of normal rabbits was undertaken as a part of a more general investigation dealing with the subject of the animal organism in relation to disease. The present paper on organ weights is based on results obtained from a study of 350 male rabbits killed and examined between January 1, 1922, and July 1, 1924. Methods of conducting the experiments are described ...
متن کاملEffects of Spontaneous Disease on Organ Weights of Rabbits
A group of 127 rabbits presenting clinical manifestations of disease of spontaneous origin was studied with a view to determining whether any relation could be detected between physical constitution as represented by organ weights and functional activity as measured by the efficiency of the reaction to disease. The results of the investigation are presented in tabular form and the values obtain...
متن کاملEffects of Obscure Lesions on Organ Weights of Apparently Normal Rabbits
A group of 350 normal rabbits was studied with reference to the occurrence of obscure lesions of various kinds and the probable or possible effect of such lesions or disease processes on organ weights. The results of the investigation are presented in the form of comparative tabulations. It was found that so long as the animals remained in apparently good health the values obtained for organ we...
متن کاملRelation between Organ Weights and Obscure Lesions in Apparently Normal Rabbits
A study of organ weights was made on a group of 295 normal rabbits for the purpose of determining whether any relation could be detected between the weights of organs and the extent and activity of the lesions found post mortem. The results obtained seemed to indicate that disease, even in its mildest form, is capable of affecting the weights of organs that are not directly involved by the dise...
