  • Title: Pagophagia in the albino rat.
    Author: Woods SC, Weisinger RS.
    Journal: Science; 1970 Sep 25; 169(3952):1334-6. PubMed ID: 5271640.
    Abstract:
    Pagophagia, or ice-eating, is a common symptom of iron-deficiency anemia in humans. Rats made anemic by withdrawal of blood consume a significantly greater proportion of their daily water in the form of ice than nonanemic controls. Recovery from the anemia eliminates the pagophagia.
