Female preproenkephalin-knockout mice display altered emotional responses.
The endogenous opioid system has been implicated in sexual behavior, palatable intake, fear, and anxiety. The present study examined whether ovariectomized female transgenic preproenkephalin-knockout (PPEKO) mice and their wild-type and heterozygous controls displayed alterations in fear and anxiety paradigms, sucrose intake, and lordotic behavior. To examine stability of responding, three squa...
متن کاملAltered Sleep Homeostasis in Knockout Mice
INTRODUCTION The timing and quality of sleep are controlled by the interaction of a homeostatic process, that tracks sleep need as a function of the previous sleep/wake history, and a circadian process that ensures the appropriate timing of sleep relative to the daily light-dark alternation.1,2 Although these two processes seem functionally and neurophysiologically distinct, at the molecular le...
متن کاملAltered Innate Immune and Glial Cell Responses to Inflammatory Stimuli in Amyloid Precursor Protein Knockout Mice
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) and its cleaved products have been reported to have important functions in CNS health, including in memory and synapse formation, cell survival and neuroprotection. Furthermore APP and its cleaved products have been shown to be transiently increased in response to various CNS stressors, suggesting a role in response to acute cellular injury. In an attempt to furt...
متن کاملElastase- and LPS-exposed mice display altered responses to rhinovirus infection.
Viral infection is associated with approximately one-half of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which in turn, accelerate disease progression. In this study, we infected mice exposed to a combination of elastase and LPS, a constituent of cigarette smoke and a risk factor for development of COPD, with rhinovirus serotype 1B, and examined animals for viral persis...
متن کاملTNFR1-deficient mice display altered blood pressure and renal responses to ANG II infusion.
The hypothesis that TNF receptor 1-deficient (TNFR1(-/-)) mice display blood pressure (BP) and renal functional responses that differ from wild-type (WT) mice was tested in an angiotensin II (ANG II)-dependent model of hypertension. Basal systolic BP (SBP), mean arterial pressure, diastolic BP, heart rate (HR), and pulse pressure were similar in WT and TNFR1(-/-) mice. Infusion of ANG II for 7 ...
