Selected Lines and Inbred Strains
In their quest to elucidate the genetic influences contributing to alcoholism, researchers have long used selected lines and inbred strains of rodents. Selected lines are obtained by repeatedly mating those animals within a population that show extremely high or low values of the desired trait. Inbred strains are generated by mating male and female siblings, irrespective of any particular trait...
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 کاملReward-Related Behavioral Paradigms for Addiction Research in the Mouse: Performance of Common Inbred Strains
The mouse has emerged as a uniquely valuable species for studying the molecular and genetic basis of complex behaviors and modeling neuropsychiatric disease states. While valid and reliable preclinical assays for reward-related behaviors are critical to understanding addiction-related processes, and various behavioral procedures have been developed and characterized in rats and primates, there ...
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...
