Abstract
Boric acid was given to rats by incorporating it in the diet. The dosage of boric acid given was 0.30-0.35 g/kg body weight per day. Rats suffered from an abnormal hair loss after receiving boric acid for 4 months. Between the third month and the 10th month the average feed intake of both the male and female rats receiving boric acid was significantly lower (p 0.05) compared with that of the control rats. During the fourth month and the 10th month the body weight of rats receiving boric acid were significantly lighter (p 0.05) compared with that of the control rats. There was no sign of cell lesion in the various organs examined after 6 months of exposure to boric acid.
