Shear stress is differentially regulated among inbred rat strains.
An important compensatory response to atherosclerosis is vascular remodeling, with maintenance of vessel lumen diameter and shear stress. Both hemodynamic and environmental factors contribute to vascular remodeling and shear stress regulation, and the process is probably also influenced by genetic factors. To establish an animal model for genetic analysis of shear stress regulation and vascular...
متن کاملPhenotypic variation in sensorimotor performance among eleven inbred rat strains.
As a first step toward identifying the genes that determine sensorimotor ability (motor coordination) we subjected 11 inbred strains of rats to three different tests for this trait. Rats were tested at 13 wk of age to determine how long they could remain on 1) a rotating cylinder as the velocity of rotation increased every 5 s (1-direction rotation test), 2) a rotating cylinder that reversed di...
متن کاملUnpredictable chronic mild stress differentially impairs social and contextual discrimination learning in two inbred mouse strains
Alterations in the social and cognitive domain are considered important indicators for increased disability in many stress-related disorders. Similar impairments have been observed in rodents chronically exposed to stress, mimicking potential endophenotypes of stress-related psychopathologies such as major depression disorder (MDD), anxiety, conduct disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder (...
متن کاملAtheroprotective mechanisms of shear stress-regulated microRNAs.
MicroRNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs that control gene expression by inhibiting translation or inducing degradation of targeted mRNA. miRs play a crucial role in vascular homeostasis but also during pathophysiological processes. Functionally active endothelial cells maintain homeostasis of the vasculature and protect against cardiovascular disease. The mechanical activation of endothelial...
متن کاملDifferences in time-dependent hypoxic phrenic responses among inbred rat strains.
Hypoxic ventilatory responses differ between rodent strains, suggesting a genetic contribution to interindividual variability. However, hypoxic ventilatory responses consist of multiple time-dependent mechanisms that can be observed in different respiratory motor outputs. We hypothesized that strain differences would exist in discrete time-dependent mechanisms of the hypoxic response and, furth...
