Drugs in rat's livers

Description

An experiment was undertaken to investigate the amount of drug present in the liver of a rat. Nineteen rats were randomly selected, weighed, placed under a light anesthetic, and given an oral dose of the drug. It was believed that large livers would absorb more of a given dose than a small liver, so the actual dose given was approximately determined as 40 mg of the drug per kilogram of body weight. After a fixed length of time, each rat was sacrificed, the liver weighed, and the percent dose in the liver was determined.
