To study bone adaptation to detraining in growing rats, nine weeks-old immature female Wistar rats (n=110) were subjected to treadmill running programs (30 or 60 minutes-a-day) for up to 15 weeks, followed by unrestricted cage activities for the subsequent ...
Ciliary neurotrophic factor prevents behavioural deficits and striatal degeneration in rat and primate models of Huntington's disease. Interleukin- 6, another member of the cytokine family, and the chimeric molecule (IL6/IL6R) in which interleukin-6 and it ...
Emotionally charged experiences alter memory storage via the activation of hormonal systems. Previously, we have shown that compared with rats trained for a massed spatial learning task in the water maze in warm water (25 degrees C), animals that were trai ...
The ability to regulate gene expression constitutes a prerequisite for the development of gene therapy strategies aimed at the treatment of neurologic disorders. In the present work, we used tetracycline (Tet)-regulated lentiviral vectors to investigate th ...
Neurodegenerative diseases represent promising targets for gene therapy approaches provided effective transfer vectors. In the present study, we evaluated the effectiveness of LacZ-expressing lentiviral vectors with two different internal promoters, the mo ...
OBJECTIVE: To compare a novel resorbable hydrogel barrier with two previously studied barriers, oxidized regenerated cellulose and hyaluronic acid, for the prevention of postoperative adhesions. STUDY DESIGN: Two models were employed in the rat uterine hor ...
The molecular mechanism underlying the extinction of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) expression in rat liver during development was investigated. A mouse (BWTG3) and a rat (7777) hepatoma, both of which exhibit characteristics of fetal hepatocytes, were found to ...
Methylobacterium dichloromethanicum DM4 is able to grow with dichloromethane as the sole carbon and energy source by using a dichloromethane dehalogenase/glutathione S-transferase (GST) for the conversion of dichloromethane to formaldehyde. Mammalian homol ...
We examined the activation of memory-related processes in the hippocampus and the amygdala following spatial learning under stress, in the rat. Animals were trained in a water maze in a massed spatial task under two stress conditions (cold and warm water). ...
We used synchrotron spectromicroscopy to study the microscopic distribution of baron in rat brain tumour and healthy tissue in the field of baron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The success of this experimental cancer therapy depends on the preferential up ...
