Organ Specificity and Commonality of Epigenetic Aging in Low‐ and High‐Running Capacity Rats
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is not associated with epigenetic clocks, including newly developed ones. On the other hand, CRF is associated with global methylation profiles and promoter methylation in organ‐specific and organ‐common manner. ABSTRACT Epigenetic drift, which is gradual age‐related changes in DNA methylation patterns, plays a ...

Dietary Prebiotics and Bioactive Milk Fractions Improve NREM Sleep, Enhance REM Sleep Rebound and Attenuate the Stress-Induced Decrease in Diurnal Temperature and Gut Microbial Alpha Diversity. [PDF]
Severe, repeated or chronic stress produces negative health outcomes including disruptions of the sleep/wake cycle and gut microbial dysbiosis. Diets rich in prebiotics and glycoproteins impact the gut microbiota and may increase gut microbial species ...

A number of transplantable animal models of osteosarcoma have been developed so far, but the available strains of the rat that keep their bone-forming ability through many serial transplantations are limited both in the number of strains and their applicability.

Oxidative Stress in People Living With HIV: Are Diverse Supplement Sources the Solution?
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has reduced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS to a manageable chronic condition even though no cure exists. Despite ART control, latent HIV infection results in failed memory CD4 T‐cell responses, immune overactivation, inflammation, oxidative stress, genomic instability, deoxyribonucleic ...

Endogenous N-nitroso compounds, and their precursors, present in bacon, do not initiate or promote aberrant crypt foci in the colon of rats [PDF]
Processed meat intake is associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer. This association may be explained by the endogenous formation of N-nitroso compounds (NOC).

Physiology is closely synchronized to daily and seasonal light/dark cycles. Wild‐derived white‐footed mice were housed in long‐day (LD – 16L:8D) or short‐day (SD – 8L:16D) photoperiods at thermoneutrality (27°C). LD selectively increased visceral WAT mass and decreased Adrβ3 and Ucp1 expression while inducing misalignment of clock genes compared to SD.

Left ventricular pressure-volume relationship in a rat model of advanced aging-associated heart failure. [PDF]
Aging is associated with profound changes in the structure and function of the heart. A fundamental understanding of these processes, using relevant animal models, is required for effective prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease in the ...

Genetic Loci Influencing Cue‐Reactivity in Heterogeneous Stock Rats
A genome‐wide association study characterizing individual differences in cue‐reactivity (sign‐tracking; A) identifies multiple genetic loci, particularly on chromosomes 1 and 18 (B). Multiple candidate genes in these regions were identified, including those with known psychiatric relevance (e.g., Tenm4; C) and novel candidates with heritable ...

High-resolution genome screen for bone mineral density in heterogeneous stock rat [PDF]
We previously demonstrated that skeletal mass, structure, and biomechanical properties vary considerably in heterogeneous stock (HS) rat strains. In addition, we observed strong heritability for several of these skeletal phenotypes in the HS rat model ...
