tumor which would be transplantable in a non-inbred strain of rats as widely used as the Wistar strain, the authors have, in the course of the past several years, transplanted a number of spontaneous tu mors originating in Wistar rats. None of these transplants, however, survived the first passage. Recently, an adult Wistar rat with a spontane ous ascites tumor was brought to the attention of t...

Objective: In addition to attention deficits and hyperactivity it is common for children with ADHD to display impaired fine and gross motor skills. The spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rat model of ADHD displays impaired motor learning [1]. We used this characteristic to study if the recently described acoustic noise benefit in learning in children with ADHD [2, 3] is also observed in the SH ra...

Several studies have shown its effect on kidney damage. This study is analyzing the (ethanol methanol) histopathological damage male Wistar rat kidney. was experimental laboratories using a post-test only control group design. We are ...

The adult Wistar strain albino rats were vasectomised by conventional method and maintained for six months. The vasectomized rat testis had elevated water content with depleted dry matter. Glycogen content was increased with indication of mobilization of hexoses into HMP pathway. The vasectomized rat testis showed preferential utilisation of triglycerides. In view of increased 3 beta-HSD and 17...

UNLABELLED The renin-angiotensin system plays a crucial role in the regulation of cardiovascular function and maintenance of water-electrolyte balance. The two major receptor types of the system, AT1 and AT2, have different, often opposite effects on these functions. AIM To elucidate the impact of long-term treatment with selective angiotensin receptor antagonists and an agonist on water-salt...

A novel rat model of nephritis induced by monoclonal antibodies to the non-collagenous domain of type IV collagen was developed by Sado’s group [1-2]. Chondrex, Inc. provides three rat monoclonal antibodies to non-collagenous domain 1 (NC1) of α4 chain of type IV collagen, α4(IV), of rat glomerular basement membrane (GBM), which are used for inducing nephritis in Wistar-Kyoto rats by a single i...
