Inter-individual Variability for High Fat Diet Consumption in Inbred C57BL/6 Mice [PDF]
Since inbred C57BL/6 mice are known to show inter-individual phenotypic variability for some traits, we tested the hypothesis that inbred C57BL/6 mice display a different tendency to consume a high fat (HF) diet.

Outbred CD1 mice are as suitable as inbred C57BL/6J mice in performing social tasks [PDF]
Inbred mouse strains have been used preferentially for behavioral testing over outbred counterparts, even though outbred mice reflect the genetic diversity in the human population better. Here, we compare the sociability of widely available outbred CD1 mice with the commonly used inbred C57BL/6J (C57) mice in the one-chamber social interaction test and

Discordant susceptibility of inbred C57BL/6 versus outbred CD1 mice to experimental fungal sepsis [PDF]
Individual susceptibility differences to fungal infection following invasive and/or immunosuppressive medical interventions are an important clinical issue.

Deletion of the alpha-synuclein locus in a subpopulation of C57BL/6J inbred mice [PDF]
BackgroundThe presynaptic protein α-synuclein is involved in a range of neurodegenerative diseases. Here we analyze potential compensatory mechanisms in α-synuclein null mutant mice.

Bone Brittleness Varies with Genetic Background in A/J and C57BL/6J Inbred Mice [PDF]
Abstract The contribution of genetic and environmental factors to variations in bone quality are understood poorly. We tested whether bone brittleness varies with genetic background using the A/J and C57BL/6J inbred mouse strains.

Discriminative stimulus effects of ethanol in C57BL/6J and DBA/2J inbred mice.
Background: Two of the most widely used mouse strains for studying the behavioral effects of ethanol are C57BL/6J (B6) and DBA/2J (D2) mice. These strains exhibit marked differences in behavioral and physiological responses to ethanol. The subjective discriminative stimulus effects of ethanol may play a role in ethanol abuse, but the discriminative ...

We have previously shown that adult C57BL/6 mice are relatively resistant to intraperitoneal (i.p.) infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Here we show that newborn mice of the strain C57BL/6 are highly susceptible to i.p. infection with HSV-1. Newborn C57BL/6 mice, in contrast to adult mice, did not develop natural killer cell activity in

Substrains matter in phenotyping of C57BL/6 mice
The inbred mouse strain C57BL/6 has been widely used as a background strain for spontaneous and induced mutations. Developed in the 1930s, the C57BL/6 strain diverged into two major groups in the 1950s, namely, C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N, and more than 20 ...

Chronobiology of alcohol: Studies in C57BL/6J and DBA/2J inbred mice [PDF]
Human alcoholics display dramatic disruptions of circadian rhythms that may contribute to the maintenance of excessive drinking, thus creating a vicious cycle. While clinical studies cannot establish direct causal mechanisms, recent animal experiments have revealed bidirectional interactions between circadian rhythms and ethanol intake, suggesting that

Neuroimaging Evidence of Major Morpho-Anatomical and Functional Abnormalities in the BTBR T+TF/J Mouse Model of Autism [PDF]
BTBR T+tf/J (BTBR) mice display prominent behavioural deficits analogous to the defining symptoms of autism, a feature that has prompted a widespread use of the model in preclinical autism research.
