Growth and physiological responses to toxicosis in lines of mice selected for resistance or susceptibility to endophyte-infected tall fescue in the diet.

Abstract excerpt

In three experiments, mice from lines selected for resistance (R) or susceptibility (S) to growth depression from endophyte-infected fescue seed in the diet were fed diets containing infected (E+) or non-infected (E-) seed. Activities of liver enzymes known to participate in oxidation, reduction, or hydrolysis or in conjugation of xenobiotics were measured in these mice. In all experiments, E+ caused greater...
