Memory deficits in Sprague Dawley rats with spontaneous ventriculomegaly
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 ...

We measure the cell‐specific responses of administering infusible ECM (iECM) in acute myocardial infarction (MI) across multiple timepoints. Using single‐nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we measure macrophage activation, fibroblast remodeling, increased vascular development, lymphangiogenesis, cardioprotection, and neurogenesis ...

Catabolism of chylomicron triacylglycerol and cholesteryl ester in genetically obese rats
The catabolism of chylomicrons was investigated in genetically obese rats and their nonobese littermates, and was compared with catabolism in older Sprague–Dawley rats with body weights similar to the obese rats and their younger controls.

A dual‐crosslinking poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel is presented that rapidly solidifies and progressively adheres to tissue, achieving durable sealing of bile leaks. In hepatectomy models, this system prevents postoperative complications more effectively than conventional sealants, highlighting its translational potential as a safe and efficient ...

Interpreting Neuroendocrine Hormones, Corticosterone, and Blood Glucose to Assess the Wellbeing of Anesthetized Rats during Euthanasia [PDF]
Current recommendations for assessing animal wellbeing during euthanasia suggest that measuring neuroendocrine hormones-such as ACTH, noradrenaline, and adrenaline-is preferable to measuring corticosterone and blood glucose because of the sensitivity of ...

Intratubular Spermatocytic Seminomas in 2 Sprague-Dawley Rats
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.
