Differential Behavioral Responses to\ud Cocaethylene of Long-Evans and\ud Sprague-Dawley Rats: Role of Serotonin [PDF]
, 1997 Cocaethylene is a neuroactive metabolite derived from the concurrent consumption of cocaine and ethanol. The effects of cocaethylene on locomotor activity, stereotypy, and rearing in Long-Evans and Sprague-Dawley rats were compared.A single cocaine ...

Creation of a Computational Pipeline to Extract Genes from Quantitative Trait Loci for Diabetes and Obesity [PDF]
, 2015 Type 2 Diabetes is a disease of relative insulin deficiency resulting from a combination of insulin resistance and decreased beta-cell function. Over the past several years, over 60 genes have been identified for Type 2 Diabetes in human genome-wide ...

K-ras mutations are frequent in pulmonary squamous cell carcinomas but not in adenocarcinomas of WBN/Kob rats induced by N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine [PDF]
, 2017 Pulmonary carcinomas induced by N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl) amine (BOP) in WBN/Kob rats were screened for point mutations in the K-ras protooncogene. Exons 1 and 2 were polymerase chain reaction amplified from paraffin-embedded sections, followed by direct

The determinants of susceptibility/resistance to adjuvant arthritis in rats [PDF]
, 2009 Adjuvant arthritis (AA) serves as an excellent model for human rheumatoid arthritis. AA is readily inducible in certain rat strains, but not in others. Susceptibility/resistance to AA is determined by multiple factors. Among the genetic factors, both MHC

Genomes and phenomes of a population of outbred rats and its progenitors [PDF]
, 2014 Finding genetic variants that contribute to phenotypic variation is one of the main challenges of modern genetics. We used an outbred population of rats (Heterogeneous Stock, HS) in a combined sequence-based and genetic mapping analysis to identify ...

Stability of small non-coding RNA reference gene expression in the rat retina during exposure to cyclic hyperoxia [PDF]
, 2013 Purpose: Oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) is a robust animal model of human retinopathy of prematurity that readily allows changes in retinal gene and microRNA (miRNA) expression in response to fluctuations in oxygen levels to be studied.

Reduced Levels of mGlu2 Receptors within the Prelimbic Cortex Are Not Associated with Elevated Glutamate Transmission or High Alcohol Drinking [PDF]
, 2017 Background A Grm2 cys407* stop codon mutation, which results in a loss of the metabotropic glutamate 2 (mGlu2) receptor protein, was identified as being associated with high alcohol drinking by alcohol-preferring (P) rats.

Nociceptin attenuates the escalation of oxycodone self-administration by normalizing CeA-GABA transmission in highly addicted rats. [PDF]
, 2020 Approximately 25% of patients who are prescribed opioids for chronic pain misuse them, and 5 to 10% develop an opioid use disorder. Although the neurobiological target of opioids is well known, the molecular mechanisms that are responsible for the ...
