Complexity of cardiovascular regulation in small animals.

Oscillations of heart rate and blood pressure are related to the activity of the underlying control mechanism. They have been investigated mostly with linear methods in the time and frequency domains. Also, in recent years, many different nonlinear analysis methods have been applied for the evaluation of cardiovascular variability. This review presents the most commonly used nonlinear methods. ...

transgenic animals in pharmaceutical and biological research in iran

transgenic (tg) mice are very important models of disease, and have been introduced to biological studies since 1982. they are used for understanding the pathobiology of different diseases, finding targets for pharmacological manipulations, and for the evaluation of efficacy and toxicity of medicines in preclinical studies. many different types of tg mice are available as models for human disea...
