Animals were assigned to lithium, valproate (VPA), or saline for 15 days.
Following training, the animals were assigned to one of three sleep conditions (REMSD, tank control, or cage control).
Animals were assigned to squares by parity (3 multiparous and 1 primiparous squares with primiparous in the incomplete square).
In this test, the animals were assigned for five groups comprising of five mice in each group.
The animals were assigned to a control group (C), a steroid group (S), an abrupt steroid cessation (SC) group, or a tapering steroid (ST) group.
Animals were assigned either to an early calving (mean CD: 12 February) treatment or a late calving (mean CD: 25 February) treatment.
Animals were assigned to the following treatments: control, with no citral supply; and dietary addition of 0.08, 0.16 or 0.24 mL of citral oil per kg of BW.
Animals were assigned to either an early calving (mean CD February 12) treatment or a late calving (mean CD February 25) treatment.
At 6 hours, animals were assigned to good prognosis or poor prognosis groups - depending on echo-derived stroke volume (cutoff value 0.20 ml, based on previous experiments).
Animals were assigned randomly to four groups: control (non-irradiated) or LLLT at three different doses per session: 5 J/cm2, 10 J/cm2, and 20 J/cm20
In both studies the participating animals were assigned in two experimental groups (Cp-group and N-group), depending on the presence of Cp, at the inclusion rate of 2%, or not in their feed.
