A primary characteristic of autism, which is a neurodevelopmental disorder, is impaired social interaction and communication. Furthermore, patients with autism frequently show abnormal social recognition. In mouse models of autism, social recognition is usually assessed by examining same-sex social behavior using various tests, such as the three-chamber test. However, no studies have examined t...

The effect of an acute oral load of 2 g ethanol/kg body weight was studied in a group of male and female 10-wk-old C3H/HeNCrj (C3H/He) mice to investigate gender change throughout differences of the hepatic ethanol metabolism of mice. The following parameters were measured in the serum from 0 h to 3 h after the start of the experiment: ethanol, acetaldehyde, and acetate. Their concentrations in...

For successfully maintaining pregnancy with embryo transfer or artificial insemination, female recipient mice must be induced into a pseudopregnant state. Female are traditionally paired overnight vasectomized males, and the following morning, presence of copulation plug is assessed. To increase efficiency producing females, cervical manipulation technique has been standardized to used in combi...

Research question Maternal alcohol consumption produces fetal retardation and malformations, probably associated with placental defects. Does perigestational up to organogenesis lead abnormal placentation embryo growth restriction by disrupting the vascular endothelial factor (VEGF) system in embryo–placental development? Design Female mice were treated 10% ethanol drinking water before day 10 ...

This study aimed to analyze the effect of stem extract yellow root plant (Arcangelisia flava Merr.) from Enggano Island on introduction and locomotor activity male female mice (Mus musculus L.). The method used is an experiment with a completely randomized design. treatment variations were extracted at dose 150 mg/kgBW, 200 mg/kgBW 250 Neo Hormoviton capsules as positive control, without or str...

Abstract Bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) neurons that synthesize corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) drive binge alcohol drinking and anxiety. Here, we found female C57BL/6J mice drink more than males have greater basal BNST CRF neuron excitability synaptic excitation. We identified a dense VGLUT2 + input from paraventricular thalamus (PVT) releases glutamate directly onto but also ...

The mechanism by which acetaminophen (APAP) causes liver damage evokes many aspects drug metabolism, oxidative chemistry, and genetic-predisposition. In this study, we leverage the relative resistance of female C57BL/6 mice to APAP-induced liver damage (AILD) compared to male C57BL/6 mice in order to identify the cause(s) of sensitivity. Furthermore, we use mice that are either heterozygous (HZ...

Objective(s):To evaluate the effect of trinitroglycerin (TNG) as nitric oxide donor agent on serum copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) levels and liver enzymes in BALB/c mice infected with Leishmania major (L. major) MRHO/IR/75/ER. Materials and Methods: Inbred female mice were divided into three groups: healthy group (uninfected naive mice), control group (infected with L. major), and test group (L. maj...

Stress induces a switch in learning strategies of male C57BL/6J mice from predominantly spatial to more stimulus-response learning. To study generalization of these findings over sex, we investigated female C57BL/6J mice at three phases of the estrous cycle under non stress and acute (10 min) restraint stress conditions. On a circular hole board (CHB) task, about half of the naive female mice u...
