Sterility Produced in Mice by Deuterium Oxide

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/915459· OSTI ID:915459
;
Sterility in C{sub 57} and Swiss mice has been produced by substituting D{sub 2}O for a part of the drinking water. The effective range lies between 5% and 30% D{sub 2}O. It appears that the effect is greater in C{sub 57} males than females and that the size and viability of the litter is affected.
