Lethal challenge of gnotobiotic weanling rats.
Lethal challenge of gnotobiotic weanling rats I am surprised that a more critical appraisal of the paper by Lee et al' was not made prior to publication. The paper is poorly constructed and the conclusions invalid. The mixing of the commensal organisms obtained from the nasopharynx of different infants who had died as a result of SIDS, and injecting them subcutaneously in high concentrations (l...
متن کاملEffects of lateral hypothalamic lesions on placentophagia in virgin, primiparous, and multiparous rats.
Lesions of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) were produced in pregnant and nonpregnant female rats through chronically implanted electrodes to investi gate the effect of LH damage on placentophagia. Other variables investigated were prior parturitional experience and stimulus properties of the placenta. Lesions were produced under ether anesthesia 24 hr. prior to parturition in pregnant females a...
متن کاملCharacterization of Fiber Types in Different Muscles of the Hindlimb in Female Weanling and Adult Wistar Rats
We analyzed lesser diameter and distribution of fiber types in different skeletal muscles from female Wistar rats using a histoenzymology Myofibrillar Adenosine Tri-phosphatase (mATPase) method. Fragments from muscles were frozen and processed by mATPase in different pH. Adult and weanling rat soleus muscles presented a predominance of type I fibers and larger fiber diameters. In the plantar mu...
متن کاملKinetics of radiolabeled adrenocorticotropin hormone in infant and weanling rats.
Unlike the adult animal, the developing rat has a diminished ability to activate and inhibit the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis. In general, a gradual ACTH and corticosterone response to stressors appear after postnatal day 10 and is well established to adult level by weaning age. Although at this age the peak ACTH level is comparable to that of the adult, ACTH levels remain elevated for a...
متن کاملInfluence of Iron Deficiency on Olfactory Behavior in Weanling Rats.
Chronically high occupational exposure to airborne metals like iron can impair olfactory function, but little is known about how low iron status modifies olfactory behavior. To investigate the influence of body iron status, weanling rats were fed a diet with low iron content (4 - 7 ppm) to induce iron deficiency anemia and olfactory behavior was compared to control rats fed an isocaloric diet s...
