Abstract
A low-cost technique for studies of mineral and net base balance in rodents is described. Metabolic units of plexiglass, modifiable according to special needs, were found to perform satisfactorily in short-term as well as in long-term studies. Young Wistar rats showed normal growth rate, and adult non-growing rats showed mineral and net base balances close to zero.Keywords
