[Effect of separated or simultaneous ingestion of tannic acid, potassium metabisulfite and ethanol on reproduction in rats]. 1978

D Hugot, and J Causeret

As compared to controls, female rats fed a diet containing 3.2% of tannic acid have a higher fertility index, but the number of their born alive young is smaller and the growth of their litters is slower. A diet containing 1% of potassium metabisulfite also decreases the growth rate of the litters. These effects are additives. Ethanol (fed at a level of 30 cal. % at the expense of carbohydrates) has no effect on the reproduction performances and does not interact with the previous effects.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011188	Potassium	An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.

D000431	Ethanol	A clear, colorless liquid rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. It has bactericidal activity and is used often as a topical disinfectant. It is widely used as a solvent and preservative in pharmaceutical preparations as well as serving as the primary ingredient in ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013447	Sulfites	Inorganic salts of sulfurous acid.	Sulfite,Sulfites, Inorganic,Inorganic Sulfites
D013634	Tannins	Polyphenolic compounds with molecular weights of around 500-3000 daltons and containing enough hydroxyl groups (1-2 per 100 MW) for effective cross linking of other compounds (ASTRINGENTS). The two main types are HYDROLYZABLE TANNINS and CONDENSED TANNINS. Historically, the term has applied to many compounds and plant extracts able to render skin COLLAGEN impervious to degradation. The word tannin derives from the Celtic word for OAK TREE which was used for leather processing.	Tannin
