In laboratory assays, individuals from the RR strain fed on MON 89034 × TC1507 × NK603 maize presented similar life table parameters of those fed on non-Bt maize.
It was concluded that Marshal strain fed at 4 h post-hatch elicited the highest growth performance and the most developed gut morphological features.
Interaction effects showed that the Marshal strain fed at 4 h post-hatch had the highest (p < 0.05) final live weight (2594.00 g/bird).
Mortalities of the Waipio strain (after treatment with 50 mg (AI /L of indoxacarb, λ-cyhalothrin or cypermethrin) and Cry1C-R strain (feeding on 1000 mg (AI /L MC and purified Cry1C treated broccoli leaves or Cry1C broccoli leaves for 2 d) were investigated as described above for the Pearl strain.
Females of the B6 strain fed on regular rodent pellets were significantly larger than those of the B10 strain (P < 0.001).
Plasma triglyceride and LDL levels, and LDL/HDL ratio were significantly higher in the atherosclerosis-susceptible than in the atherosclerosis-resistant strain fed the cholesterol diet.
Generic factors, for example sex, strain, feeding regime, can be examined by combining data from different experiments, which increases the number of observations and thus gives higher confidence results.
To determine the effect of diet on a given Ahr genotype, we compared the mRNA levels from livers of B6W and B6.D2W mice with those from mice of the same strain fed regular diet [ Figure 4A; see also Supplemental Material, Table S5 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1205003)].
To more accurately imitate Geocoris spp. attack, we developed an off-plant assay with larvae from the laboratory M. sexta strain feeding on detached leaves from field-grown plants, in which size-matched larvae were poked, pierced and lifted using an insect pin to mimic the Geocoris spp. beak.
When emotions run high, or conversation is strained, "feeds and speeds" are a good fallback.
