Total body water measured by desiccation and by tritiated water in adult rats
Total body water (TBW) of 32 adult rats, 16 males and 16 females, was measured indirectly with tritium dilution and directly by desiccation in the same animal. There was no difference between the sexes; therefore the data were combined. The TBW of adult rats, whose mean weight in grams was 168.4 ± 2...
