Scheme depicting the experimental set up of the study. Achilles tendons and tenocytes were isolated from heterozygous (fa/+, non diabetic: non DMT2) and homozygous (fa/fa, diabetic: DMT2) Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats. Tendon degeneration, collagen type 1 alpha 1 chain (COL1A1) and alpha smooth muscle actin (αSMA) expression was determined in rat ...

An investigation into the electrophysiological properties of murine ventricular myocardium and stellate ganglia was conducted using the loose patch clamp technique at two distinct age points to assess aging‐mediated alterations in ionic currents. The voltage‐gated inward sodium current, quantified as maximum sodium current (INa(Max)), was reduced with ...

Elevated cortisol concentration in preterm sheep fetuses impacts heart development
Abstract The prepartum rise in cortisol promotes cardiac development and maturation. Here, we investigated the impact of elevated circulating cortisol during mid‐late gestation on cardiac growth and metabolism in fetal sheep. Saline or cortisol (2–3 mg in 4.4 mL/24 h) was infused into the fetal jugular vein from 109 to 116 days gestation (dG, term ...

Abstract figure legend Sprint interval training (SIT) is a popular time‐efficient type of endurance training. Healthy young men performed nine SIT sessions (4–6 × 30 s all‐out cycling sprints) over 3 weeks while being supplemented with antioxidants (high doses of vitamins C and E) or placebo. Muscle biopsies taken before and after the first SIT session

Selection of suitable endogenous reference genes for qPCR in kidney and hypothalamus of rats under testosterone influence. [PDF]
Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) is the most reliable and accurate technique for analyses of gene expression. Endogenous reference genes are being used to normalize qPCR data even though their expression may vary under different conditions and in ...

This study demonstrates that the aqueous extract of Baccaurea ramiflora leaves (BrLAE) possesses significant antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties. BrLAE treatment effectively reduced CFA‐induced paw edema, improved hematological and biochemical parameters, and downregulated pro‐inflammatory gene expression in Wistar rats.

Efficient gene targeting by homologous recombination in rat embryonic stem cells.
The rat is the preferred experimental animal in many biological studies. With the recent derivation of authentic rat embryonic stem (ES) cells it is now feasible to apply state-of-the art genetic engineering in this species using homologous recombination.

Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome: Evaluation of a Modified Bite Device to Prevent Bite Injuries
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS) is a serious form of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) deficiency, a hereditary purine metabolism disorder. The prevalence reported in the literature is 1/380,000 to 235,000 births.
