title: Influence of cross-fostering on preference for calcium chloride in C57BL/6J and PWK/PhJ mice.
abstract: We investigated whether maternal influences during the suckling period alter the avidity for calcium, using as models mice from the calcium-preferring PWK/PhJ strain and the calcium-avoiding C57BL/6J strain. We found that milk collected from PWK/PhJ dams had higher calcium concentrations than did milk collected from C57BL/6J dams. Despite this, cross-strain fostering had no effect on adult calcium preferences relative to mice of the same strain that were within-strain fostered or not fostered. Our results indicate that calcium avoidance by C57BL/6J mice and acceptance by PWK/PhJ mice are unaffected by maternal environment during the suckling period.
