Genetical research, 1984 Genetic similarities among 46 strains of rats based on published data involving 93 samples and 28 biochemical loci were assessed using principal coordinate and cluster analysis techniques. Seventeen strains were represented by more than one colony.

The effects of strain, reproductive condition, and strain of placenta donor on placentophagia in nonpregnant mice [PDF]
, 1973 The effects on placentophagia of strain, reproductive condition, and strain of placenta donor were observed in nonpregnant mice. Mice of the C57BL/6By and BALB/cBy strains were exposed to placentas of either strain after either no previous parturitional ...

Transgenerational plasticity research: Challenges and opportunities
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Transgenerational plasticity (TGP) is a type of non‐genetic inheritance whereby one generation's environment affects a subsequent generation's phenotype. It can influence the persistence of organisms in stressful climatic conditions through allowing rapid phenotypic ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Our study investigates inbreeding avoidance mechanisms at the gamete level in domesticated Atlantic salmon using sperm motility traits assessments, fertilisation trials, and paternity analysis under competitive conditions. We demonstrate that ovarian fluid from sibling females reduces sperm motility traits and fertilisation rates but found no ...

Fischer 344 and Lewis rat strains as a model of genetic vulnerability to drug addiction
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016 Today it is well acknowledged that both nature and nurture play important roles in the genesis of psychopathologies, including drug addiction. Increasing evidence suggests that genetic factors contribute for at least 40-60 % of the variation in liability

Characterization of the T cell receptor repertoire causing collagen arthritis in mice [PDF]
, 1993 Collagen type II-induced arthritis (CIA) is generated in susceptible rodent strains by intradermal injections of homologous or heterologous native type II collagen in complete Freund's adjuvant.

Bone Loss and TLR4 Signals Contribute Independently to B Lineage Aging
Aging Cell, EarlyView.The prevailing view is that the age‐related decline of B lymphopoiesis is due to increased inhibitory signals in the marrow environment. Our data show that the loss of salutary ones, such as those from bone, primarily drives the loss of B cell progenitors with age.

Scientific Reports, 2017 Both social environment and genetic factors are critical for smoking initiation and nicotine addiction. We reported that rats developed conditioned flavor (i.e., taste and odor) aversion to intravenously self-administered (IVSA) nicotine, and that social

PLoS ONE, 2016 Over the past half century, thousands of quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been identified by using animal models and plant populations. However, the none-reliability and imprecision of the genomic regions of these loci have remained the major hurdle ...

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020 We hypothesized that the acute response to traumatic brain injury (TBI) shares mechanisms with brain plasticity in the kindling model. Utilizing two unique, complementary strains of inbred rats, selected to be either susceptible or resistant to seizure ...
