Please note that for regulatory submissions the FDA recommends the following conversion factors: Mouse = 3, Hamster = 4.1, Rat = 6, Guinea Pig = 7.7. (based on Cancer Chemother Repts 50(4):219(1966)) Multiply the conversion factor by the animal dose in mg/kg to obtain the dose in mg/m2 for human dose equivalent. when both height and weight are known, human body surface area is calculated using Boyd's Formula of Body Surface Area (Boyd E. The growth of the surface area of the human body. University of Minnesota Press. 1935) . Calculations with weight alone (no heigth) are less accurate. All values are estimates and values above 2.25 m2 are not considered accurate
