Thyroid Diseases in Rodent Species
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2014There are an abundance of studies of thyroid disease in rodents in a laboratory setting; however, research is limited in pet rodent populations. Validated reference intervals for thyroid testing are scarce, making interpretation of blood work difficult. Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism have been reported in multiple rodent species, with the most data

Are rodent models of Parkinson’s disease behaving as they should? [PDF]
Behavioural Brain Research, 2018 In recent years our understanding of Parkinson's disease has expanded both in terms of pathological hallmarks as well as relevant genetic influences. In parallel with the aetiological discoveries a multitude of PD animal models have been established. The vast majority of these are rodent models based on environmental, genetic and mechanistic insight. A

Thyroid Disease in Rabbits and Rodents
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal PracticeWhile thyroid disease is generally uncommon in rabbits and rodents, it is most frequently diagnosed in guinea pigs. Particularly, hyperthyroidism and thyroid neoplasms are diagnosed regularly in this species, while thyroid neoplasia is the most common thyroid disorder found in other rodents.

Fungal diseases of laboratory rodents
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2003Although fungal disease is uncommon in rodents, dermatophytosis is the most common mycosis seen in clinical practice. T. mentagrophytes is the most common etiologic agent, and the guinea pig is the most common species affected, although there are reports in all pet and laboratory rodent species except the gerbil.

Promising rodent models in Parkinson's disease
Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2018In the past decade, the study of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) has revealed a genetic component, often associated with a number of environmental risk factors. Animal models have improved our understanding of disease pathogenesis, providing significant insights into the understanding of novel ...

Overview on Rodent Models of Alzheimer's Disease
Current Protocols in Neuroscience, 2005AbstractIn Alzheimer's disease (AD), characteristic lesions develop in brain regions that subserve cognitive functions, ultimately leading to dementia. There are now several lesioned or transgenic small‐animal models of the disease that model select aspects of cognitive deficits and/or recapitulate many, but not all, of the characteristic pathologic ...

Pharmacological Models of Parkinson’s Disease in Rodents
2011Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. Despite the substantial progress that has been achieved, the precise mechanisms involved in the development of this disease are still not fully understood. The most common concepts relate to the genetic background and environmental/toxic effects.

Parkinson’s disease: a rethink of rodent models
Experimental Brain Research, 2006Parkinson's disease (PD) is a multifactorial disease with a complex etiology that results from genetic risk factors, environmental exposures and most likely a combination of both. Rodent models of parkinsonism aim to reproduce key pathogenic features of the syndrome including movement disorder induced by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in ...

In Practice, 2010
Pet rodents make up a small but significant part of the caseload in small animal veterinary practice. Skin disease is a frequent reason for presentation, as it is easily noticed by the owner, even in species that are not regularly handled. Particular problems encountered with the diagnosis and treatment of skin disease in rodents include the stress of ...

Cortical Plasticity in Alzheimer’s Disease in Humans and Rodents
Biological Psychiatry, 2007The aim of this study was to determine whether neocortical long-term potentiation (LTP) is deficient in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and in amyloid precursor protein (APP)/presenilin-1 (PS1) mice, an AD animal model. We then ascertained whether this deficit might be paralleled by functional abnormalities of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDAR ...
