High doses of a test chemical sometimes affect the food consumption of the treated animals even to the point of starvation. The effect of such a non-specific toxicological stress on the bone marrow micronucleus test was investigated in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats.

An effect of starvation on the frequency of micronucleated erythrocytes (MN-E) was not discernable from the results of the present experiment.
