EFFECTS OF SODIUM CYCLAMATE IN KIDNEYS OF RATS FETUSES: A MORPHOMETRIC STUDY

The cyclamate is used as artificial non-caloric sweetner in a wide variety of foods and beverages, being 30 times as sweet as sugar without the bitter after-taste of saccharin. It appears in the composition of the products as sodium and calcium cyclamates and cyclamic acid. The purpose of this resea...
