Comparison of the effects of two anesthetics, isoflurane and urethane, on bladder function in rats
We compared the effects of two anesthetics, isoflurane and urethane on bladder function in rats. Arterial pressure, cystometry (CMG), and rhythmic bladder contractions (RBCs) under isovolumetric conditions, mechanosensitive single-unit afferent ...

Improved timed-mating, non-invasive method using fewer unproven female rats with pregnancy validation via early body mass increases [PDF]
For studies requiring accurate conception-timing, reliable, efficient methods of detecting oestrus reduce time and costs, whilst improving welfare. Standard methods use vaginal cytology to stage cycle, and breeders are paired–up using approximately five ...
