Strain differences in delay discounting using inbred rats [PDF]
Genes, Brain and Behavior, 2009 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.

Simulated childbirth injuries in an inbred rat strain [PDF]
Neurourology and Urodynamics, 2008 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 ...

Shear Stress Is Differentially Regulated Among Inbred Rat Strains [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2003 An important compensatory response to atherosclerosis is vascular remodeling, with maintenance of vessel lumen diameter and shear stress. Both hemodynamic and environmental factors contribute to vascular remodeling and shear stress regulation, and the process is probably also influenced by genetic factors.

Strain differences in seizure-induced cell death following pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus
Neurobiology of Disease, 2012 Mouse strains differ from one another in their susceptibility to seizure-induced excitotoxic cell death. Previously, we have demonstrated that mature inbred strains of mice show remarkable genetic differences in susceptibility to the neuropathological ...

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022 Genetic background and age at first exposure have been identified as critical variables that contribute to individual vulnerability to drug addiction. Evidence shows that genetic factors may account for 40–70% of the variance in liability to addiction ...
