Genetic divergence and the genetic architecture of complex traits in chromosome substitution strains of mice

BMC Genetics, 2012
Background The genetic architecture of complex traits strongly influences the consequences of inherited mutations, genetic engineering, environmental and genetic perturbations, and natural and artificial selection.

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

A rat model of early stage osteonecrosis induced by glucocorticoids

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2011
Background Glucocorticoid (GC)-induced osteonecrosis (ON) is an important complication of medical therapy. The exact pathomechanisms of ON has not been clearly elucidated.

Inhalation of welding fumes reduced sperm counts and high fat diet reduced testosterone levels; differential effects in Sprague Dawley and Brown Norway rats

Particle and Fibre Toxicology, 2020
Background Previous studies have shown that inhalation of welding fumes may induce pulmonary and systemic inflammation and organ accumulation of metal, to which spermatogenesis and endocrine function may be sensitive.

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Tnni3k alleles influence ventricular mononuclear diploid cardiomyocyte frequency.

PLoS Genetics, 2019
Recent evidence implicates mononuclear diploid cardiomyocytes as a proliferative and regenerative subpopulation of the postnatal heart. The number of these cardiomyocytes is a complex trait showing substantial natural variation among inbred mouse strains

Adapting Genotyping-by-Sequencing and Variant Calling for Heterogeneous Stock Rats

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
The heterogeneous stock (HS) is an outbred rat population derived from eight inbred rat strains. HS rats are ideally suited for genome wide association studies; however, only a few genotyping microarrays have ever been designed for rats and none of them ...

Inconsistent Transcriptomic Responses to Hexabromocyclododecane in Japanese Quail: A Comparative Analysis of Results From Four Different Study Designs

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract Efforts to use transcriptomics for toxicity testing have classically relied on the assumption that chemicals consistently produce characteristic transcriptomic signatures that are reflective of their mechanism of action. However, the degree to which transcriptomic responses are conserved across different test methodologies has seldom been ...

Guideline for the In Vivo Immunomodulatory Activity Test of Polysaccharide Based on Cyclophosphamide‐Induced Mouse Model

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Abstract graph of the in vivo immunomodulatory activity of polysaccharide based on a cyclophosphamide‐induced mouse model. ABSTRACT The immune system serves as the primary defense mechanism against pathogens and plays a vital role in maintaining host homeostasis. In recent years, natural polysaccharides have emerged as promising immunomodulators due to

Persistent Ductus Arteriosus in the Brown-Norway Inbred Rat Strain [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 2006
Persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common cardiovascular anomaly in children caused by the pathologic persistence of the left sixth pharyngeal arch artery. The inbred Brown-Norway (BN) rat presents with increased vascular fragility due to an aortic elastin deficit resulting from decreased elastin synthesis. The strikingly high prevalence of PDA in
