3 rat pups / each (exposure time), 4 lactating rats /exposure

Young rats (and rabbits etc) are referred to as "kits" or "pups" in this type of text (not "kittens",which usually refers to cats or other felines). "Vez" refers to the number of times the drug or other treatment in question is applied.

Cheers doc :-)
agree Hermeneutica : "Pups", and this seems the most logical response even though one would really need to understand the experiment as a whole. "Vez" can also = "run"

"run" is good to know for future reference, thanks DB ;)

3 (rat) kittens at a time (exposure), 4 lactating rats at a time

Hi Adam,

It is difficult to know what "exposición" refers to without further context - what are they doing to these rats? Exposing them to something? Giving them drugs?

I don't think "vez" is a typo - I think it just means that the rats are used at the same time.

Baby rats are usually referred to as "kittens".

Good luck!
