Multiple low dose streptozotocin-induced diabetes as a model for studying autoimmune diabetes in humans. [PDF]
Multiple low dose streptozotocin‐induced diabetes is a valuable animal model of diabetes type 1. It should be improved by further research on autoantigens, microbiota and mucosal immune cells from the gut, but also from other organs. Abstract The autoimmune response directed against pancreatic β cells is the most essential pathogenic process in type 1 ...

Contribution of animal models to diabetes research: Its history, significance, and translation to humans. [PDF]
Animal models of diabetes and application to human studies ABSTRACT Diabetes mellitus is still expanding globally and is epidemic in developing countries. The combat of this plague has caused enormous economic and social burdens related to a lowered quality of life in people with diabetes.

Genetic background and age at first exposure have been identified as critical variables that contribute to individual vulnerability to drug addiction. Evidence shows that genetic factors may account for 40–70% of the variance in liability to addiction ...

Low-anxiety rat phenotypes can be further reduced through genetic intervention. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: A previous study using an intercross between the inbred rat strains Lewis (LEW) and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats (SHR) identified a locus on chromosome 4, named Anxrr16, influencing an experimental index of anxiety and showing a ...

A variable CD3⁺ T-cell frequency in peripheral blood lymphocytes associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus development in the LEW.1AR1-iddm rat. [PDF]
PURPOSE: The LEW.1AR1-iddm rat is an animal model of human type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), which arose through a spontaneous mutation within the MHC-congenic inbred strain LEW.1AR1 (RT1(r²)).

N-octanoyl-dopamine is an agonist at the capsaicin receptor TRPV1 and mitigates ischemia-induced [corrected] acute kidney injury in rat. [PDF]
Since stimulation of transient receptor potential channels of the vanilloid receptor subtype 1 (TRPV1) mitigates acute kidney injury (AKI) and endogenous N-acyl dopamine derivatives are able to activate TRPV1, we tested if synthetic N-octanoyl-dopamine ...

Artificial intelligence for neurodegenerative experimental models
Abstract INTRODUCTION Experimental models are essential tools in neurodegenerative disease research. However, the translation of insights and drugs discovered in model systems has proven immensely challenging, marred by high failure rates in human clinical trials.

A marker of intestinal inflammation was 44% greater in Parkinson's disease, exceeding a cut‐point for inflammatory bowel disease in 16%. It was associated with a higher maltose and sucrose intake. The emerging picture is of systemic inflammatory response consequent on intestinal inflammation, clinical phenotype being described by deficits in faecal ...

Caenorhabditis nematodes colonize ephemeral resource patches in neotropical forests
Caenorhabditis nematodes are real animals that live in nature. Field collections and experiments in tropical forests reveal new information about their diversity, ecology, behavior, phylogenetics, population biology, and biogeography. Abstract Factors shaping the distribution and abundance of species include life‐history traits, population structure ...
