Combined Toxicity of Taurine and Ethanol
in 7-Day-Old Mice
To reduce the possible influence of individual hereditary characteristics on experi-
mental results the mice from each litter were divided into different experimental
groups. Each group consisted of an equal number of males and females. As there
