lol, that one was really a howler.
You're spot on. But for the rest of the forum:
The most commonly accepted mouse-to-human conversion is: (D)*(3/37) = H
Where D = the mouse dose in mg/kg. H = human dose in mg/kg.
So if a 25g mouse eats 0.1% of its bodyweight in taurine, that comes out to 1000mg/kg. It translates to 81mg/kg for a human. If you weigh 100kg, an equivalent daily dose for you is 8.1 grams/day.
The rat equation is similar, but 6/37 rather than 3/37.
