Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate resistance adaptation based on genotypic adaptation and to develop an inbred rat strain with genotypic resistance adaptation to a hot environment. Survival time (ST) at an ambient temperature (Ta) of 42.5 degrees C was determined without appreciable thermal damage. Rats with the longest ST were sibmated over 30 generations and designated FOK. The ST, evaporative water...
