Simulated childbirth injuries in an inbred rat strain [PDF]
AbstractAimsVaginal distension (VD) in outbred rats has been shown to decrease urethral resistance, as well as increase the expression of the stem cell‐homing chemokine, monocyte chemotactic factor 3 (MCP‐3), but not stromal derived factor 1 (SDF‐1). The aim of this study was to determine if similar responses are induced by VD in an inbred rat strain ...

Ventilatory Phenotypes among Four Strains of Adult Rats. [PDF]
Our purpose in this study was to identify different ventilatory phenotypes among four different strains of rats. We examined 114 rats from three in-house, inbred strains and one outbred strain: Brown Norway (BN;n = 26), Dahl salt-sensitive (n = 24), Fawn-

Strain differences in delay discounting using inbred rats [PDF]
A heightened aversion to delayed rewards is associated with substance abuse and numerous other neuropsychiatric disorders. Many of these disorders are heritable, raising the possibility that delay aversion may also have a significant genetic or heritable component.

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

Placentophagia in Nonpregnant Nulliparous Mice: A Genetic Investigation [PDF]
The genetic influence on the response of nonpregnant nulliparous mice to foster placenta was investigated. Two highly inbred strains (BALB/cBy and C57BL/6By), their F1 hybrids, a backcross generation, and seven recombinant-inbred strains derived from the

Dissecting the genetic components of a quantitative trait locus for blood pressure and renal pathology on rat chromosome 3 [PDF]
Background: We have previously confirmed the importance of rat chromosome 3 (RNO3) genetic loci on blood pressure elevation, pulse pressure (PP) variability and renal pathology during salt challenge in the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive (SHRSP ...

Blood pressure and indices of glomerular filtration area in hypertensive and normotensive Prague rats [PDF]
The involvement of the kidney in the pathogenesis of hypertension has long been recognised, although the specific renal mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are still unknown.

The effects of strain, reproductive condition, and strain of placenta donor on placentophagia in nonpregnant mice [PDF]
The effects on placentophagia of strain, reproductive condition, and strain of placenta donor were observed in nonpregnant mice. Mice of the C57BL/6By and BALB/cBy strains were exposed to placentas of either strain after either no previous parturitional ...

Murine models of renal disease: Possibilities and problems in studies using mutant mice [PDF]
The elucidation of the pathogenesis of human renal disease at the molecular level has been facilitated by the growing field of gene targeting and the development of mouse strains with single-gene deletions - the `knock-out' mice. Experimental nephrology,

Strain-dependent differences in corticolimbic processing of aversive or rewarding stimuli [PDF]
Aberrations in the elaboration of both aversive and rewarding stimuli characterize several psychopathologies including anxiety, depression and addiction.
