Traffic Noise Exposure Increases Gastric Acid Secretion in Rat [PDF]

Acta Medica Iranica, 2010
Noise is considered as one of the most severe sources of environmental and work place constraints. Noise effects on immune function, hormonal levels, cardiovascular and respiratory systems are well known.

The genetic component of the forced diving bradycardia response in mammals

Frontiers in Physiology, 2011
We contrasted the forced diving bradycardia between two genetically similar (inbred) rat strains (Fischer and Buffalo), compared to that of outbred rats (Wistar). The animals were habituated to forced diving for 4 weeks.

Blood pressure and indices of glomerular filtration area in hypertensive and normotensive Prague rats [PDF]

, 2000
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.

Phenotypic and gene expression differences between DA, BN and WOKW rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Because inbred rat strains are widely used as laboratory models, knowledge of phenotypic and genetic variations between strains will be useful to obtain insight into the relationship between different strains.

Inter-strain differences of serotonergic inhibitory pain control in inbred mice [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Descending inhibitory pain control contributes to the endogenous defense against chronic pain and involves noradrenergic and serotonergic systems.

Genetic factors control nicotine self-administration in isogenic adolescent rat strains. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Adult cigarette smokers usually become dependent on cigarettes during adolescence. Despite recent advances in addiction genetics, little data delineates the genetic factors that account for the vulnerability of humans to smoke tobacco.

Susceptibility to anthrax lethal toxin-induced rat death is controlled by a single chromosome 10 locus that includes rNlrp1.

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
Anthrax lethal toxin (LT) is a bipartite protease-containing toxin and a key virulence determinant of Bacillus anthracis. In mice, LT causes the rapid lysis of macrophages isolated from certain inbred strains, but the correlation between murine ...

Innate Resistance to Leishmania amazonensis Infection in Rat Is Dependent on NOS2

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Leishmania infection causes diverse clinical manifestations in humans. The disease outcome is complicated by the combination of many host and parasite factors.

Dissecting the genetic components of a quantitative trait locus for blood pressure and renal pathology on rat chromosome 3 [PDF]

, 2017
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 ...
