Comparison of voluntary ethanol intake by two pairs of rat lines used as genetic models of anxiety

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2004
The relationship between anxiety-related behaviors and voluntary ethanol intake was examined in two pairs of rat lines by the oral ethanol self-administration procedure. Floripa high (H) and low (L) rats selectively bred for contrasting anxiety responses

Establishment and Characteristics of Five Analbuminemic Inbred Strains of Rats

Experimental Animals, 1987
Five analbuminemic inbred strains of rats (AD/1, AD/2, AD/3, AD/4, AD/5) were established from Nagase analbuminemic rats (NAR). They showed no genetic differences in coat color, biochemical marker gene loci and skin grafting test. Their serum levels of total cholesterol, phospholipids, triglycerides, and beta-lipoproteins were compared with normal ...

Two inbred rat strains contrasting for anxiety-related behaviors show similar levels of defensive responses to cat odor

Behavioral and Brain Functions, 2007
Rodents are known to display fear-related responses when exposed to the odor of natural predators, such as cats, even when they are totally naïve to these stimuli.

Deficits in Sustained Attention and Changes in Dopaminergic Protein Levels following Exposure to Proton Radiation Are Related to Basal Dopaminergic Function.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The current report assessed the effects of low-level proton irradiation in inbred adult male Fischer 344 and Lewis rats performing an analog of the human Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT), commonly utilized as an object risk assessment tool to quantify ...

Effect of Sex, Anesthesia Method, Physiological Asymmetry, and Strain on Rat Lymphatic Vessel Contractility Assessed via Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Linear Mixed-Effects Modeling. [PDF]

Microcirculation
ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to investigate the effect of sex, anesthesia administration method, lymphatic physiological asymmetry, and strain on popliteal lymphatic collecting vessel contractile function and transport in effort to create a research comparison standard for experimentations using rat popliteal lymphatics.

Increased Disarray of Extracellular Matrix Collagen‐I Fiber Network and Compromised Biomechanics in Aortae From Marfan‐Syndrome Mice Assessed Through Combined Opto‐Biomechatronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Combined structure‐function assessment in aortic rings from Marfan mice using MechaMorph Opto‐Biomechatronics technology relates increased elasticity (stiffness) and dynamic viscosity and less ordered extracellular matrix 3D‐structure (collagen) as potential causes for impaired Windkessel function and compromised haemodynamics in Marfan's syndrome ...

Beyond Probiotics: Postbiotics for Healthy Aquaculture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This critical review assesses limitations of probiotics and proposes postbiotics, preparations of inanimate microorganisms and their metabolites, as a more stable, controlled, and biosafe formulation. Postbiotics offer significant advantages during industrial aquafeed production and storage. However, their practical implementation is currently hindered

Blue Light Receptor PHR2‐Mediated Spectrum Antiviral Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Blue light suppresses RBSDV through the blue‐light receptor ZmPHR2, which interacts with ZmISP in chloroplasts to trigger ROS burst and antiviral defense. The viral effector P6 enhances ZmPHR2–ZmISP interaction, alters their distribution, and suppresses ROS.
