2.3. Study animals
We bought male Swiss albino mice from Mhow, India’s College of
Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry, measuring 22-28 grammes.
Animals were acclimated to the housing at a temperature of 20 to 25 °C,
relative humidity of 50 to 55 %, and a cycle of 12 hours of light and
12 hours of darkness.
