3 (rat) kittens at a time (exposure), 4 lactating rats at a time


Explanation:
Hi Adam,

It is difficult to know what "exposición" refers to without further context - what are they doing to these rats? Exposing them to something? Giving them drugs?

I don't think "vez" is a typo - I think it just means that the rats are used at the same time.

Baby rats are usually referred to as "kittens".

Good luck!

agree  Dr. Andrew Frankland

  -> Cheers doc :-)

agree  Hermeneutica: "Pups", and this seems the most logical response even though one would really need to understand the experiment as a whole. "Vez" can also = "run"
2 hrs
  -> "run" is good to know for future reference, thanks DB ;)
