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 ...

Detection and Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci that Determine Responsiveness [PDF]
Exposure to 70% N2O evokes a robust antinociceptive effect in C57BL/6 (B6) but not in DBA/2 (D2) inbred mice. This study was conducted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) in the mouse genome that might determine responsiveness to N2O.

Strain restricted typing sera for the use in the genetic monitoring of inbred strains of mice and rats from two danish SPF breeders [PDF]
Strain restricted typing sera (SRTS) were produced for some of the most used inbred mouse and rat strains in Denmark by injecting lymphocytes pooled from several different strains intraperitoneally into the recipients.

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 ...

The Genetic Component of the Forced Diving Bradycardia Response in Mammals [PDF]
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.

The rs6265 (Val66Met) BDNF SNP determines responsiveness to a clinically relevant therapeutic electrical stimulation (TES) protocol following peripheral nerve injury. This study examined gene–treatment interactions using a rat model of sciatic nerve injury and human iPSC‐derived motor neurons to assess how the common rs6265 BDNF polymorphism influences

Successful islet allotransplantation in diabetic rats immunosuppressed with FK506: A functional and immunological study [PDF]
The effect of a novel immunosuppressive agent, FK506, on fresh islet allografts was evaluated in diabetic rats across major histocompatibility complex (MHC) barriers with respect to the transplantation (TR) site, islet source, treatment regimen, and ...

Fall armyworm (FAW) preferred ovipositing on vegetative‐stage soybeans. While ‘mother knows best’ may not apply in soybean‐FAW system, muffled cues in the reproductive stage could positively influence host success. Abstract BACKGROUND While the mother knows best/preference performance hypothesis has been well tested in natural ecosystems, how these ...

Effects of Aging on Glucose and Lipid Metabolism in Mice
Lien et al. report a characterization of metabolism with aging across three different strains of mice. They find that glucose metabolism is robust during healthy aging; however, aging tissues exhibit evidence of upregulated fatty acid and sphingolipid metabolism reactions that regenerate NAD+ from NADH.

An endochondral differentiation process in the CEPs drives pathologic disc calcification in aging LG/J mice, and NP cell hypertrophic transdifferentiation secondarily contributes. Supplementing drinking water with 80 mM K3Citrate during aging markedly reduced disc calcification, attenuated NP cell transdifferentiation, and mildly improved NP and AF ...
