| Comments |
P.782 left column bottom paragraph: "The epithelial cycle in young animals is much shorter than in adults (Kluin et al, 1982, primary source van Haaster and de Rooij, 1993b). In rats, the epithelial cycle takes about 5 days during the first weeks of life (primary source van Haaster and de Rooij, 1993b) versus 12.8 in adults (Hilscher et al, 1969), in Chinese hamsters, the comparable figures are 9 days (primary source van Haaster and de Rooij, 1993b) versus 17 days in adults (primary source Oud and de Rooij, 1977)." |
