In order to determine the nutritional adequacy of diets MIT 200 and NIH 2000 on the growth and development of experimental animals, these two diets were fed to two groups of animals during three periods of development: 1) pregnancy; 2) lactation, and 3) post-weaning. These diets were compared with a diet that satisfied the requirements of the National Research Council for growth and maintenance. It was found that for the two experimental diets, growth was compromised due to a caloric deficit in both diets. In addition, NIH 2000 was deficient in other nutrients such as iron. Analysis of other parameters such as hemoglobin, hematocrit, salivary protein, saliva flow and weight of vital organs upon autopsy revealed a picture of iron deficiency in the NIH 2000 group. Caries formation can be precipitated by a mechanism influenced by a nutrient deficit.
为了确定MIT 200和NIH 2000日粮对实验动物生长发育的营养充足性，在三个发育阶段将这两种日粮喂给两组动物：1）妊娠期；2）哺乳期；3）断奶后。将这些日粮与满足美国国家研究委员会生长和维持要求的日粮进行比较。结果发现，对于这两种实验日粮，由于两种日粮都存在热量不足，生长受到了影响。此外，NIH 2000缺乏其他营养素，如铁。对其他参数的分析，如血红蛋白、血细胞比容、唾液蛋白、唾液流量和尸检时重要器官的重量，揭示了NIH 2000组存在缺铁的情况。营养缺乏影响的机制可能会促使龋齿形成。
