Suprainguinal ectopic scrota of TS inbred rats [PDF]
Reproduction, 1988 Summary. A new rat line (TS inbred rats) showing uni- or bilateral ectopic scrota in about 70% of the males was established. Ectopic scrota were elongated pouches of the thin muscle layer under the suprainguinal body skin, in which hypoplastic testes and epididymides were seen.

Genome wide analysis of inbred mouse lines identifies a locus containing Ppar-γ as contributing to enhanced malaria surviva [PDF]
, 2010 The genetic background of a patient determines in part if a person develops a mild form of malaria and recovers, or develops a severe form and dies. We have used a mouse model to detect genes involved in the resistance or susceptibility to Plasmodium ...

Avoidance Expression in Rats as a Function of Signal-Shock Interval: Strain and Sex Differences
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015 Inbred Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats express inhibited temperament, increased sensitivity to stress, and exaggerated expressions of avoidance. A long-standing observation for lever press escape/avoidance learning in rats is the duration of the warning signal (

Simulated childbirth injuries in an inbred rat strain [PDF]
Neurourology and Urodynamics, 2008 AbstractAimsVaginal distension (VD) in outbred rats has been shown to decrease urethral resistance, as well as increase the expression of the stem cell‐homing chemokine, monocyte chemotactic factor 3 (MCP‐3), but not stromal derived factor 1 (SDF‐1). The aim of this study was to determine if similar responses are induced by VD in an inbred rat strain ...

Anthrax lethal factor cleaves mouse nlrp1b in both toxin-sensitive and toxin-resistant macrophages. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Anthrax lethal factor (LF) is the protease component of anthrax lethal toxin (LT). LT induces pyroptosis in macrophages of certain inbred mouse and rat strains, while macrophages from other inbred strains are resistant to the toxin.
