Johnson Adviser: Adjunct Associate Professor Susan D. Croll IL1-­‐R1 null mutant mice (IL1-­‐R1 KO) have reduced signaling in the interleukin-­‐1 (IL-­‐1) pathway, making them a convenient ...

The inhibitory effect of lyophilized cultures of Bifidobacterium longum on 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ)-induced carcinogenesis was investigated in male and female F344 rats. Beginning at 5 weeks of age, male and female rats were divided into various experimental groups and fed one of the high-fat, semipurified diets containing 0 and 0.5% lyophilized cultures of B. longum with or...

Androgens have been postulated to be important modulators of adipose tissue metabolism and fat cell function. In the present study, we investigated the response of male and female mice retroperitoneal adipose tissue to the nonaromatizable androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Adipose tissue samples were obtained in gonadectomized animals treated with vehicle (control group), or injected with 0.1 ...

OBJECTIVE The variety of methodologies used to investigate ovariectomized female rats shows different results, which makes a clinical application of these results difficult. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effect of masticatory effort reduction and of low-calcium diet on maxillary bone turnover of ovariectomized female rats. STUDY DESIGN Eighty-four female rats were divided into ...

to understand the mechanism of multiple sclerosis (ms), an autoimmune demyelinating disease, the researchers developed an experimental animal model for ms, which is called eae (experimental allergic encephalomyelitis). there are several methods for inducing this animal model. in this research the active eae, which is developed by injecting bovine myelin antigens into genetically susceptible ani...
