Phylogenetics of rat inbred strains
Mammalian Genome, 2003Laboratory rats (Rattus norvegicus) have played animportant role in biomedical research for over 100years with more than 200 strains bred as physiologi-cal models of human disease (Lindsey 1979; Steenet al. 1999; Kwitek-Black and Jacob 2001). Unlikemouse inbred strains, little is known about rela-tionships among rat strains (Festing 1979).

Reagin synthesis in inbred strains of rats
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1973Reaginic antibody synthesis after intraperitoneal immunization with ovalbumin in aluminium hydroxide gel (Al(OH)3) has been evaluated in BN, F344 and ACI inbred strains of rats and compared to that in outbred Wistar rats. Regardless of the dose of antigen employed (0.1 mg, 0.01 mg, 0.001 mg), BN inbred and Wistar outbred rats produced comparable ...

Energy balance in an inbred strain of rats: Comparison with the wistar strain
Physiology & Behavior, 1994Food intake and body weight gain were examined in two groups of male rats (7 weeks): an inbred strain, Dark Agouti (DA, n = 12) and a noninbred strain, Wistar (n = 13). The animals were allowed to select their diet from separate sources of the three macronutrients protein, fat, and carbohydrate.

Behavioral and neurochemical differences in an inbred strain of rats
Physiology & Behavior, 1990The spontaneous motility of 75 Sprague-Dawley rats obtained from an inbred strain was found to vary widely. To test the hypothesis that heterogeneity in motility is accompanied by heterogeneity in neurochemical and vegetative function variables, the median motility score was used to divide the animals into high and low motility groups.

The first listing of inbred strains of rats was by Billingham and Silvers (1959). This is the fifth listing and has been substantially revised, although it is heavily dependent on previous listings (Festing and Staats, 1973). In contrast with previous listings, an attempt has been made to cite the original reference for any given strain characteristic.

Variation in haematological parameters among inbred strains of rat
Laboratory Animals, 1981Haematological determinations were carried out on 7 inbred strains of rats using a standardized procedure. Significant genetic variation was found for many of the parameters although none of the strains had values which could be termed pathological. Measurements also varied significantly from day to day.

Sperm Autoantibodies in Vasectomized Rats of Different Inbred Strains
Science, 1977An immune response to antigens of spermatozoa occurs after vasectomy in rats of some inbred strains, but not in others. Antibodies to rat spermatozoa were detected by indirect immunofluorescence in some of the serums of vasectomized rats of the following strains: 80 percent of Lewis, 47 percent of Brown Norway, 13 percent of Buffalo, 12 percent of ...

Two types of electrocortical paroxysms in an inbred strain of rats
Neuroscience Letters, 1986In 10 subjects of a particular inbred strain of rats (WAG/Rij), two types of spike-wave complexes were detected in the cortical electroencephalogram (EEG) during the two recording hours. The first type, already well-known, occurred in 8 of the 10 rats. This type was seen both during sleep and wakefulness and was accompanied by behavioural concomitants,
