Multimodal characterization of Yucatan minipig behavior and physiology through maturation

Scientific Reports, 2021
Brain injuries induced by external forces are particularly challenging to model experimentally. In recent decades, the domestic pig has been gaining popularity as a highly relevant animal model to address the pathophysiological mechanisms and the ...

A New Female Rat Animal Model for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder; Behavioral and Pharmacological Evidence

The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2011
ABSTRACTIntroductionFemale sexual dysfunction (FSD) affects 33–48% of women. Female rats with low sexual activity might model FSD.AimIn this study, we have investigated whether in a population of normal female rats, subpopulations of rats exist with different levels of sexual behavior.MethodsSexually experienced, intact, estradiol-primed female rats ...
