1.Objectives


The aim of this study was to collect baseline data on special diets for mice and rats and to gather long-term feeding data for AIN-93G and CLEA purified basal diets.

 

2.Materials and Methods


(1)Experimental Animals

BrlHan:WIST@Jcl(GALAS) rats (48 males and 48 females) were used in this study.


(2)Diets

The experimental diets consisted of CE-2 (control), AIN-93G, and CLEA purified basal diet (CLEA).


(3)Experimental Design

Rats were introduced at 4 weeks of age and acclimated to the CE-2 diet for one week. Subsequently, they were divided into three groups of 16 males and 16 females each, ensuring similar body weights. From the age of 5 weeks, each group was fed a different diet. The experiment was conducted in the mouse and rat breeding room of Nippon Compound Feed Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Central Research Laboratory (conventional, temperature: 23±2°C, humidity: 40-60%, 12-hour light-dark cycle (light: 9:00-21:00)). Rats were housed in pairs in wire mesh cages (Rat Bracket Cage manufactured by CLEA Japan Inc. ; 260×380×180mm). Both feed and drinking water (tap water) were provided ad libitum.


(4)Measurements

      • General condition: Observed daily.
      • Feed and water intake: Weekly feed and water intake were measured, and daily averages were calculated. However, measurements were taken every other week from 17 weeks of age.
      • Body weight: Measured weekly. However, measurements were taken every other week from 17 weeks of age.
      • Organ weight: At 4, 12, 24, and 48 weeks after the start of feeding (9, 17, 29, and 53 weeks of age, respectively), four rats (two cages) from each group were fasted for 24 hours and then sacrificed under sevoflurane (Sevoflurane, Maruishi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) anesthesia. After blood was collected from the posterior vena cava, organs were collected. The organs measured were the heart, liver, kidneys, and spleen.
      • Blood biochemical parameters: Blood samples were centrifuged to separate serum and plasma, stored at -80°C, and sent to CLEA Japan Fujinomiya Technical Service Center (FTSC) the following week for analysis.
        (Measurement items: ALT, AST, ALP, Glu, T.C, T.P, Ca, CI, BUN, CRE)


3.Statistical Analysis


      Multiple comparison tests using the Tukey-Kramer method were performed, and significant differences between groups at the 5% level are indicated.
