Comparative mechanical study of isolated papillary muscle from Wistar-Kyoto and Wistar rats.
Isolated papillary muscles have often been used in myocardial mechanical function studies. The objective of the present study was to compare the mechanical function of papillary muscle isolated from left ventricle between Wistar (W) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats of different ages (1, 3, 6 and 12 months), in order to examine whether there is a difference in intrinsic mechanical properties of muscl...
متن کاملMyocardial hypertrophy of normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats.
In our studies with spontaneously hypertensive (SHR), Wistar-Kyoto (WKY), and Wistar rats, we observed normotensive WKY rats with cardiac hypertrophy determined by a greater left ventricular (LV) mass (LVM)-to-body weight (BW) ratio (LVM/BW) than that of normotensive Wistar rats. Thus we compared the following parameters in SHR, WKY, and Wistar rats: LVM/BW, cell capacitance as index of total s...
متن کاملPartitioning of erythrocytes from spontaneously hypertensive and Wistar-Kyoto rats.
The charge-associated and non-charge-associated (probably lipid-related) surface properties of erythrocytes from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), from which SHR were originally derived, were studied by cell partitioning in dextran-polyethylene glycol aqueous phase systems. A major difference was found in the surface charge-associated and lipid-related propertie...
متن کاملBiological Variability in Wistar-Kyoto Rats
The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) initially bred in Kyoto is the most widely studied animal model of essential hypertension. As controls for the SHR, most workers have used normotensive descendants of Wistar rats from the colony in Kyoto from which the SHR strain was derived (Wistar-Kyoto rats, WKY). But the presumption that WKY are serviceable controls for SHR rests on the tacit assumpt...
متن کاملWistar-Kyoto Female Rats Are More Susceptible to Develop Sugar Binging: A Comparison with Wistar Rats
The hedonic component of the feeding behavior involves the mesolimbic reward system and resembles addictions. Nowadays, the excessive consumption of sucrose is considered addictive. The Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rat strain is prone to develop anxiety and addiction-like behavior; nevertheless, a lack of information regarding their vulnerability to develop sugar binging-like behavior (SBLB) and how it a...
