Brain tumors induced in rats by human adenovirus type 12 [PDF]
, 1974 Oncogenesis of human adenovirus type 12 in the brain of rats was examined. Newborn rats of Sprague-Dawley and Donryu strains were injected intracranially with human adenovirus type 12. The incidence of intracranial tumors was 91% (30/33) in

$β$-Carotene bioavailability and conversion efficiency are significantly affected by sex in rats. First observation suggesting a possible hormetic regulation of vitamin A metabolism in female rats [PDF]
Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2021,
pp.2100650, 2021 Scope: To study the effect of variation in dietary vitamin A (VA) content on its hepatic and intestinal metabolism. Methods and results: Adult female and male rats were fed with diets containing 400, 2300, or 9858 IU/kg VA for 31-33 weeks. VA concentrations were measured in plasma and liver.

A systematic study of radiative torque grain alignment in the diffuse interstellar medium [PDF]
A&A 640, A118 (2020), 2020 Context. Planck observations demonstrated that the grain alignment efficiency is almost constant in the diffuse ISM. Aims. We test if the Radiative Torque (RAT) theory is compatible with observational constraints on grain alignment. Methods. We combine a numerical simulation with the radiative transfer code POLARIS that incorporates a physical dust ...
