The effects of cold stress on fluctuating asymmetry in the dentition of the mouse.
Albino mice (BALB), conceived, born, and raised at 10 degrees C exhibit significant changes in the magnitude of fluctuating dental asymmetry. These results confirm the hypothesis that the dentition responds to the general stress syndrome.
