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.

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.

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

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 ...

Abstract P2RX7, an ionotropic receptor for extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP), is expressed on immune cells, including macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells and is upregulated on nonimmune cells following injury. P2RX7 plays a role in many biological processes, including production of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)‐1β ...

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

Innate lymphoid cell characterization in the rat and their correlation to gut commensal microbes
Rat ILCs are here defined and characterized across multiple tissues, and we have defined the borders between rat NK cells and ILC1s via scRNA‐Seq. Variations of intestinal ILC frequencies in individual rats were mapped against composition of the commensal microbiota. Abstract Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are important for tissue immune homeostasis, and
