English term

gavage

English to Swedish Medical Medical (general) Djurf�rs�k
"An increased incidence of tumors was seen in mice and rats exposed to toluene diisocyanate by gavage."

Jag VET vad det är - skulle ha skrivit sondmatning, om det inte i referensöversättningen från kunden stode "gavage" (i den svenska texten). Hittar också via Google att även Institutet för miljömedicin på KI samt Naturvårdsverket använder detta (enstaka träffar). Någon som kan bekräfta att det är en term som används?

gavage

"Sondmatning" implies nutrients. Toluene diisocyanate is not a nutrient. Thus the more general word, "gavage", should be used, and is used for introducing toxic substances via a tube into the stomach. Just as one does not call executing somebody by lethal injection "intravenous feeding".
Peer comment(s):

neutral Birgitta G (X) : Administration of a substance to an animal through a stomach tube could be called either gavage or peroral administration. Own experience.
