Strain-Dependent Differences in Oxygen-Induced Retinopathy in the Inbred Rat

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2005
To examine the susceptibilities of different rat strains to oxygen-induced retinopathy, a model of human retinopathy of prematurity.Litters of newborn rats of five inbred strains (Fischer 344 [F344], Dark Agouti [DA], Sprague-Dawley [SD], Wistar-Furth [WF], Lewis [LEW]) and one outbred strain (Hooded Wistar [HW]) were maintained in room air or were ...

Writing biology with mutant mice: the monstrous potential of post genomic life [PDF]

, 2011
Social scientific accounts identified in the biological grammars of early genomics a monstrous reductionism, ‘an example of brute life, the minimalist essence of things’ (Rabinow, 1996, p. 89).

Murine models of renal disease: Possibilities and problems in studies using mutant mice [PDF]

, 2000
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,

Body surface temperatures as biomarkers of physiological environmental adaptation in wild birds and mammals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ability of individuals to cope with their environment, and therefore the likelihood that they survive and pass on their genes (i.e. fitness), is largely determined by physiological state. Tracking physiological state in wild animals, however, is challenging.

Using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to assess the effect of age, high-fat diet, and rat strain on the liver metabolome.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The goal of this study was to use liquid chromatography mass spectrometry to assess metabolic changes of two different diets in three distinct rat strains.

Differences in response to anaesthetics and analgesics between inbred rat strains

Laboratory Animals, 2007
Differences in response to analgesic and anaesthetic drugs can partly be attributed to variations in the genetic background of experimental animals. This study was carried out to determine differences in the response of inbred rat strains to a selection of analgesics and drugs used in anaesthetic protocols. A cross between the most contrasting strains

From QTL to candidate gene: a genetic approach to alcoholism research [PDF]

, 2009
A major focus of research in alcohol-related disorders is to identify the genes and pathways that modulate alcohol-seeking behavior. In light of this, animal models have been established to study various aspects of alcohol dependence.

PAC‐FOS: A novel translational concordance framework identifies preclinical seizure models with highest predictive validity for clinical focal onset seizures

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Central to the development of novel antiseizure medications (ASMs) is testing of antiseizure activity in preclinical models. Although various well‐established models exist, their predictive validity across the spectrum of clinical epilepsies has been less clear.

Digit ratio (2Dratio4D) differences between 20 strains of inbred mice.

PLoS ONE, 2009
The second to fourth digit ratio (2Dratio4D) is sexually differentiated in a variety of species, including humans, rats, birds, and lizards. In humans, this ratio tends to be lower in males than in females.

Profiles of parents' upward and downward comparisons and their associations with parenting

Family Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to explore whether there are naturally occurring groups of parents who display different profiles of upward (i.e., comparing with those better off) and downward (i.e., comparing with those worse off) social comparisons, and if these differ on parental symptoms, self‐efficacy, and positive parenting behaviors.
