Evaluation by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry of age-related changes in body composition of male rats.
The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of using a recently developed procedure, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, to determine body composition in rats as a function of aging. Results were obtained that were consistent with previous findings for male rats.
