Fatty acid synthase and adipsin mRNA levels in obese and lean JCR:LA-cp rats: effect of diet.
In Sprague-Dawley rats, fatty acid synthase (FAS) activity is suppressed by dietary fat. To test the hypothesis that a defect in regulation of de novo fatty acid synthesis exists in massive obesity, we investigated the effect of diet on FAS mRNA levels ...

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 ...

Hematoxicity of amodiaquine in sprague-dawley rats
The use of amodiaquine (AQ) and its associated toxic effect has been a major public health concern since cases of life-threatening agranulocytosis and hepatic toxicity were reported during its prophylactic use. The objective of this study was to evaluate the hematological safety profile of AQ therapy.Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly distributed into ...

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 ...
