Rapid eye movement sleep deprivation induced gene regulation for modulation of noradrenaline level in brain regions of rats: Implications with chronic sleep-loss associated pathophysiological conditions. [PDF]

Neuroprotection
Proposed mechanism for transcriptional regulation of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine β hydroxylase (DBH) and monoamine oxidase‐A (MAO‐A) genes during rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) or its loss. Increased histone acetylation and decreased histone methylation of TH and DBH gene favor chromatin opening, increase in gene expressions, increased enzyme ...

Ventilatory Phenotypes among Four Strains of Adult Rats. [PDF]

, 2002
Our purpose in this study was to identify different ventilatory phenotypes among four different strains of rats. We examined 114 rats from three in-house, inbred strains and one outbred strain: Brown Norway (BN;n = 26), Dahl salt-sensitive (n = 24), Fawn-

Experimental rat models of chronic allograft nephropathy: a review [PDF]

, 2014
Chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) is the leading cause of late allograft loss after renal transplantation (RT), which continues to remain an unresolved problem. A rat model of CAN was first described in 1969 by White et al. Although the rat model of RT

Towards precision medicine for hypertension: a review of genomic, epigenomic, and microbiomic effects on blood pressure in experimental rat models and humans [PDF]

, 2017
Compelling evidence for the inherited nature of essential hypertension has led to extensive research in rats and humans. Rats have served as the primary model for research on the genetics of hypertension resulting in identification of genomic regions ...

Genetic background specific hypoxia resistance in rat is correlated with balanced activation of a cross-chromosomal genetic network centering on physiological homeostasis

Frontiers in Genetics, 2012
Genetic background of an individual can drastically influence an organism’s response upon environmental stress and pathological stimulus. Previous studies in inbred rats showed that compared to Brown Norway (BN), Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rat exerts ...

Nociception and conditioned fear in rats: strains matter.

PLoS ONE, 2013
When using rats in pain research, strain-related differences in outcomes of tests for pain and nociception are acknowledged. However, very little is known about the specific characteristics of these strain differences. In this study four phylogenetically

Ribonuclease (RNase) Prolongs Survival of Grafts in Experimental Heart Transplantation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundCell damage, tissue and vascular injury are associated with the exposure and release of intracellular components such as RNA, which promote inflammatory reactions and thrombosis. Based on the counteracting anti‐inflammatory and cardioprotective
