Effects of Aging on Glucose and Lipid Metabolism in Mice
Lien et al. report a characterization of metabolism with aging across three different strains of mice. They find that glucose metabolism is robust during healthy aging; however, aging tissues exhibit evidence of upregulated fatty acid and sphingolipid metabolism reactions that regenerate NAD+ from NADH.

Sexual Abnormalities in an Inbred Strain of Mice
An interesting sexual abnormality was observed in the Little-Murray dilute brown strain of mice. To date this abnormality has been observed in 10 animals, and is evidently hereditary. All the abnormal individuals were descendants of the same pair of mice, the ancestors of which were inbred by brother to sister matings for many generations.

Anatomic correlates of strial presbycusis in recombinant inbred mouse strains [PDF]
This project attempts to identify anatomic features that predict the range of the ‘normal’ endocochlear potential in young inbred mice. Cochlear lateral wall histologic metrics were compared in recombinant inbred (RI) mouse strains formed from BALB/c and

Intra- and inter-individual genetic differences in gene expression [PDF]
Genetic variation is known to influence the amount of mRNA produced by a gene. Given that the molecular machines control mRNA levels of multiple genes, we expect genetic variation in the components of these machines would influence multiple genes in a ...

An endochondral differentiation process in the CEPs drives pathologic disc calcification in aging LG/J mice, and NP cell hypertrophic transdifferentiation secondarily contributes. Supplementing drinking water with 80 mM K3Citrate during aging markedly reduced disc calcification, attenuated NP cell transdifferentiation, and mildly improved NP and AF ...

The role of host PrP in Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies [PDF]
PrP has a central role in the Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs), and mutations and polymorphisms in host PrP can profoundly alter the host's susceptibility to a TSE agent.

The Impact of Toll‐Like Receptor 5 on Liver Function in Age‐Related Metabolic Disorders
Toll‐like receptor 5 (TLR5) deficiency accelerates age‐related metabolic disorders, leading to obesity, fatty liver, and cellular changes such as lipid accumulation in PMHs (hepatocytes) and activation of HSCs (hepatic stellate cells), which drive fibrosis.

Quality of Reporting and Adherence to ARRIVE Guidelines in Animal Studies for Chagas Disease Preclinical Drug Research: A Systematic Review [PDF]
Publication of accurate and detailed descriptions of methods in research articles involving animals is essential for health scientists to accurately interpret published data, evaluate results and replicate findings. Inadequate reporting of key aspects of

The effects of the mitochondria‐targeted peptide therapeutic elamipretide on age‐related muscle function were compared with its effects on molecular biomarkers of aging. It was found that elamipretide treatment partially reverses age‐related cardiac dysfunction and skeletal muscle weakness in mice without significantly affecting muscle epigenetic or ...

Stress of Strains: Inbred Mice in Liver Research
Inbred mice are the most popular animals used for in vivo liver research. These mice are genetically defined, readily available, less expensive to maintain than larger animals, and enjoy a broad array of commercial reagents for scientific characterization. C57BL/6 mice are the most commonly used strain. However, other strains discussed, including BALB/
