Most of the surgical procedures for endocrine/exocrine modification that we offer in Europe can be conducted on rats and mice. For additional information on the endocrine/exocrine protocols performed by Charles River, please download our reference paper, which describes preoperative and surgical procedures along with postoperative care.
