POLYMORPHISM OF THE ACINI IN SUBLINGUAL GLAND IN SOME SPECIES OF RODENTS - MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY
Salivary glands are a feature of terrestrial species, their structure being different depending on the species and diet. In special literature we did not found informations about the acini polymorphism in sublingual gland, therefore we consider it ...

Impulsivity in rodents with a genetic predisposition for excessive alcohol consumption is associated with a lack of a prospective strategy [PDF]
Increasing evidence supports the hypothesis that impulsive decision-making is a heritable risk factor for an alcohol use disorder (AUD). Clearly identifying a link between impulsivity and AUD risk, however, is complicated by the fact that both AUDs and ...

Mitochondrial nutrients improve immune dysfunction in the type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats. [PDF]
The development of type 2 diabetes is accompanied by decreased immune function and the mechanisms are unclear. We hypothesize that oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction may play an important role in the immune dysfunction in diabetes.
