Memory deficits in Sprague Dawley rats with spontaneous ventriculomegaly
Brain and Behavior, 2020 Introduction Spontaneous ventriculomegaly has been observed in rats that were presumed normal. Because the external phenotype of these animals is unremarkable, they can be inadvertently included in behavioral experiments, despite the considerable ...

The effects of honey compared with sucrose and a sugar-free diet on neutrophil phagocytosis and lymphocyte numbers after long-term feeding in rats [PDF]
, 2007 To determine whether honey and sucrose would have differential effects on levels of neutrophil phagocytosis after long-term feeding 36 2-month old Sprague Dawley rats were fed a powdered diet that was either sugar-free or contained 7.9% sucrose or 10 ...

A Central Somatic Transmission Mediates Proprioceptive Facilitation of Muscle Pain
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Zhang et al. uncover a novel central mechanism for persistent muscle pain, in which TRPA1 sensitization in MeV proprioceptive neurons enhances somatic secretion. This, in turn, disinhibits descending pain control from neighboring noradrenergic locus coeruleus neurons via local GABAergic circuits, thereby promoting inflammatory muscle pain.

Intratubular Spermatocytic Seminomas in 2 Sprague-Dawley Rats
Journal of Toxicologic Pathology, 2014 This report describes 2 cases of spontaneous intratubular spermatocytic seminomas in Sprague-Dawley rats. These rats were sacrificed at 10 weeks old (case 1) and 40 weeks old (case 2), respectively. Macroscopically, there were no remarkable changes in either case.
