Dietary phytosterols and phytostanols decrease cholesterol levels but increase blood pressure in WKY
Nutrition & Metabolism, 2010 Background There are safety concerns regarding widespread consumption of phytosterol and phytostanol supplemented food products. The aim of this study was to determine, in the absence of excess dietary salt, the individual effects of excess accumulation ...

WKY/Ztm -ter : a new rat inbred strain on the WKY/Ztm genetic background with congenital teratomas [PDF]
Laboratory Animals, 2004 We describe a new rat model for teratomas (WKY/Ztm- ter) which arose through a spontaneous mutation in the inbred WKY/Ztm rat strain. When the tumours of the gonads became clinically apparent, affected males were 14 to 224 days of age, whereas the females only developed tumours between days 21 and 63. Tumour incidence is not gender-dependent.

Influence of dietary phytosterols and phytostanols on diastolic blood pressure and the expression of blood pressure regulatory genes in SHRSP and WKY inbred rats [PDF]
British Journal of Nutrition, 2008 The aim of the present study was to determine the impact of increased consumption of phytosterols or phytostanols on blood pressure and renal blood pressure regulatory gene expression in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive (SHRSP) and normotensive Wistar–Kyoto (WKY) inbred rats. SHRSP and WKY inbred rats (10/group) were fed a control diet or a diet

Avoidance Expression in Rats as a Function of Signal-Shock Interval: Strain and Sex Differences
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015 Inbred Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats express inhibited temperament, increased sensitivity to stress, and exaggerated expressions of avoidance. A long-standing observation for lever press escape/avoidance learning in rats is the duration of the warning signal (

Avoidance as expectancy in rats: Sex and strain differences in acquisition
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014 Avoidance is a core feature of anxiety disorders and factors which increase avoidance expression or its resistance represent a source of vulnerability for anxiety disorders. Outbred female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats and inbred male and female Wistar-Kyoto (
