Social condition affects hormone secretion and exploratory behavior in rats.
Studies of behavior, endocrinology and physiology have described experiments in which animals housed in groups or in isolation were normally tested individually. The isolation of the animal from its group for testing is perhaps the most common situation used today in experimental procedures, i.e., there is no consideration of the acute stress which occurs when the animal is submitted to a situa...
متن کاملIntestinal helminths infection of rats (Ratus norvegicus) in the Belgrade area (Serbia): the effect of sex, age and habitat*
SUMMARY Gastrointestinal helminths of Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus) from the Belgrade area were studied as a part of a wider ecological research of rats in Serbia (data on the distribution, population ecology, economic and epizoothiological-epidemiological importance, and density control). Rats were captured from May 2005 to July 2009 at both urban and suburban-rural sites. Of a total of 302 t...
متن کاملChronic stress and social housing differentially affect neurogenesis in male and female rats.
Stress plays an important role in the development of affective disorders. Women show a higher prevalence for these disorders than men. The course of a depression is thought to be positively influenced by social support. We have used a chronic stress model in which rats received foot-shocks daily for 3 weeks. Since rats are social animals we hypothesised that 'social support' might reduce the ad...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of mutual behavior in laboratory rats (Rattus norvegicus).
Three pairs of rats were trained to synchronize their lever pressing according to a mutual reinforcement contingency, in which alternating lever presses that fell within a 500-ms window were reinforced with food. In Experiment 1, rats worked in adjacent chambers separated by a transparent barrier, and the effects of the mutual reinforcement contingency were compared with those under yoked-contr...
متن کاملIn vivo regulation of MAP kinases in Ratus norvegicus renal papilla by water loading and restriction.
In cultured renal cells, hypertonicity activates multiple mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and enhances the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs). In rats, 24 h water restriction increased mean urinary osmolality (Uosm) from 2, 179+/-153 mOsm/kg to 2,944+/-294 mOsm/kg (P < 0.001) and was associated with significant (P < 0.05) increases in the papillary activity of c-Jun NH2-terminal...
