Nest-building behaviour in male rats from three inbred strains: BN/HsdCpb, BDIX/Or1Ico and LEW/Mol

open access: yesAnimal Welfare, 2005
AbstractThree inbred strains of male laboratory rat (BN/HsdCpb, BDIX/Or1Ico and LEW/Mol) were provided with nest boxes and nest materials, and were observed for nest-building activity. After 7 days, each cage and nest box was examined. Each nest was weighed and scored for complexity, and returned to the cage.

Multiple low dose streptozotocin-induced diabetes as a model for studying autoimmune diabetes in humans. [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Model Exp Med
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 ...

A QTL on rat chromosome 7 modulates prepulse inhibition, a neuro-behavioral trait of ADHD, in a Lewis x SHR intercross

open access: yesBehavioral and Brain Functions, 2006
Background Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder with a substantial genetic component. The Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats (SHR), considered as a good animal model of ADHD, also show less anxiety-like ...

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

open access: yes, 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

Artificial intelligence for neurodegenerative experimental models

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 19, Issue 12, Page 5970-5987, December 2023., 2023
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.

Lewis, Fischer 344, and Sprague-Dawley rats display differences in lipid peroxidation, motor recovery, and rubrospinal tract preservation after spinal cord injury.

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2015
The rat is the most common animal model for the preclinical validation of neuroprotective therapies in spinal cord injury (SCI). Lipid peroxidation (LP) is a hallmark of the damage triggered after SCI.

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Identification of a nutrient-sensing transcriptional network in monocytes by using inbred rat models on a cafeteria diet

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2016
Obesity has reached pandemic levels worldwide. The current models of diet-induced obesity in rodents use predominantly high-fat based diets that do not take into account the consumption of variety of highly palatable, energy-dense foods that are ...

Decreased production of TNF-alpha by lymph node cells indicates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis remission in Lewis rats

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2010
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is mediated by CD4+ Th1 cells that mainly secrete IFN-γ and TNF-α, important cytokines in the pathophysiology of the disease.
