Frequency of Owner-Reported Bacterial Infections in Pet Guinea Pigs

Animals, 2019
Domestic guinea pigs suffer morbidity and mortality due to a range of bacterial infections amongst other causes. Microorganisms such as Bordetella bronchiseptica and Streptococcus pneumoniae are commonly implicated in respiratory disease; however, there ...

A low-voltage activated, transient calcium current is responsible for the time-dependent depolarizing inward rectification of rat neocortical neurons in vitro [PDF]

, 1987
Intracellular recordings were obtained from rat neocortical neurons in vitro. The current-voltage-relationship of the neuronal membrane was investigated using current- and single-electrode-voltage-clamp techniques.

Molecular mechanism for feedback regulation of C4 biosynthesis in guinea pig peritoneal macrophage

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1984
Previous reports have shown that regulation of local extrahepatic production of complement may not reflect the regulation of plasma concentrations of the corresponding proteins and, further, that alteration of the tissue microenvironment can affect local

Adropin modulates pancreatic cell proliferation and glutathione levels in an animal model of type 1 diabetes mellitus

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Adropin is related to the energy homeostasis‐associated gene. It significantly increased glutathione reductase enzyme levels in the pancreas of experimental diabetic rats. Adropin may reduce the severity of diabetes and its complications. Cell proliferation in the exocrine is reduced after the administration of adropin.

Rickettsial infection in Amblyomma cajennense ticks and capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) in a Brazilian spotted fever-endemic area

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Brazilian spotted fever (BSF), caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii, is the deadliest spotted fever of the world. In most of the BSF-endemic areas, capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) are the principal host for the tick Amblyomma ...

Continuous electrocardiogram monitoring in porcine model of myocardial ischemia reperfusion

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Wearable technology for continuous electrocardiogram monitoring can be utilized in porcine models of disease. Abstract As cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of global mortality, innovative animal models are vital to demonstrating the translational value of experimental discoveries. Investigations focused on myocardial remodeling after ischemia

Recent advances in animal models for pathological scar research: A comprehensive review of experimental approaches and translational relevance

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Animal models remain indispensable in the study of pathological scars, each offering unique advantages and constraints. Their integration with in vitro and ex vivo systems is key to developing personalized, clinically translatable antifibrotic therapies. Abstract Pathological scarring, manifested in the form of hypertrophic scars (HTS) and keloid scars
