Comparative plasticity of brain synapses in inbred mouse strains.
One niche of experimental biology that has experienced considerable progress is the neurobiology of learning and memory. A key contributor to such progress has been the widespread use of transgenic and 'knockout' mice to elucidate the mechanisms of identifiable phenotypes of learning and memory. Inbred mouse strains are needed to generate genetically modified mice. However, genetic variations b...
متن کاملIntraocular pressure in inbred mouse strains.
PURPOSE To develop a protocol to measure the intraocular pressure (IOP) of living mice and to determine the IOP of genetically different mouse strains. METHODS Eyes of anesthetized animals were cannulated with a very fine fluid-filled glass microneedle. The microneedle was connected to a pressure transducer, and the pressure signal was analyzed with a computer system. Intraocular pressures of...
متن کاملDietary obesity in nine inbred mouse strains.
The effect of 7 wk consumption of a diet containing 32.6% of kilocalories as fat [condensed milk (CM) diet] on body composition and energy intake was evaluated in nine strains of inbred mice (AKR/J, C57L/J, A/J, C3H/HeJ, DBA/2J, C57BL/6J, SJL/J, I/STN, and SWR/J). Control animals were fed a high-carbohydrate diet containing 11.6% of energy as fat (Purina Rodent Chow diet). Relative to Chow diet...
متن کاملOrigin of inbred NZ mouse strains.
Inbreeding of mice was begun in 1948 in our labora tories in response to the request of Dr. Franz Bielschow sky, who recognized the need for genetically and nutri tionally uniform animals for cancer research. The resulting strains of inbred NZ mice proved useful for research in immunology, biochemistry, and other fields, and they have been widely distributed. We often have inquiries from invest...
متن کاملGlucuronidase phenotypes of inbred mouse strains.
M A M M A L I A N ,&glucuronidase has been relatively well characterized with regard to such parameters as substrate specificity, tissue levels, pH dependence, intracellular localization, and protein structure. For a recent review the reader may consult LEVVY and CONCHIE (1966). Although this information failed to elucidate the physiolcigical role of glucuronidase, it has provided a convenient ...
