weight of wistar rat
The normal birth weight for a Wistar rat is between 5-6 grams. Birth weight of less than 5grams can therefore be regarded as low birth weight in Wistar rats. This study; which was conducted in Bowen University, Iwo, Osun state, Nigeria, in 2013, was carried out to ascertain the effect of maternal ingestion of aspirin on the outcome of pregnancy in Wistar rats, with special reference to newborn birth weight.
