The young rat weighing 50 to 60 gm will grow some 5 to 6 gm/day, a rate of about 10% of his body weight per day. He continues to grow rapidly until reaching a weight of 200 to 300 gm. This results in a great dilution of the body stores ...

Stress is typically indicated by changes in behavioral (activity, aggression), physiologic (body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure), anatomical (adrenal weight), or biochemical (corticosterone) parameters.
