Phenotypic Variation in Strength Among Eleven Inbred Strains of Rats
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1998 As a first step toward the long-range goal of identifying the genes that determine strength, we subjected 11 inbred strains of rats to three tests of muscular strength. The tests consisted of measuring (1) the force exerted by the rat as it was pulled by the base of the tail off a grid on the pan of a top-loading electronic balance (scale test); (2 ...

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control
Insect Science, EarlyView.The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Controlled study of autoimmunization against liver in inbred rat strains [PDF]
Gut, 1971 By prolonged immunization of an inbred rat strain with isologous liver homogenate in Freund's complete adjuvant a low grade autoimmune ;cholangitis' with periductular fibrosis has been demonstrated. The lesion could be transferred to isogeneic animals by serial spleen cell injections and was associated with mild but variable delayed skin sensitivity to

“Yet the Problem Remains”: Why Genetic Determinism Still Haunts Biomedical Research
Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT After the horrors of the Holocaust and its connections to eugenics were revealed to the world, many post‐war population geneticists sought to establish rhetorical distance from the Nazi's state‐led campaigns, without abandoning their belief that actively shaping the population's genetics would produce a prosperous society.

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

Evidence of emerging transcriptome mediators of Alzheimer's disease in canine cognitive dysfunction
Brain Pathology, EarlyView.Canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD) may be a promising model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). To assess AD‐related molecular signatures in CCD, we generated transcriptome data on dog cortex and plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs). CCD‐related transcriptome changes were similar to those in aging/AD humans and were detectable in EVs from the same animals ...

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 ...

Maternal immune activation and strain specific interactions in the development of autism-like behaviors in mice. [PDF]
, 2013 It is becoming increasingly apparent that the causes of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are due to both genetic and environmental factors. Animal studies provide important translational models for elucidating specific genetic or environmental factors ...
