The phrase "as a reference rat" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are referring to a subject or model that serves as a standard or example, particularly in research or experimental settings.
Example: "In this study, we used the common laboratory mouse as a reference rat to compare behavioral responses."
Alternatives: "as a benchmark subject" or "as a model organism".
The binding potentials relative to the non-displaceable uptake (BPND) in the striatum and hippocampus were estimated using the simplified reference tissue model (SRTM) [25] with PMOD software using the cerebellum as a reference region, as the rat cerebellum is devoid of H3R [26].
The ROI was manually drawn on the heart in the chest planar image using the radiographic planar image of the same rat as a reference (Fig. 1a), and the mean radioactivity concentration in the ROI was quantified (CBlood-planar).
The sequence of RNG105 has been thoroughly analyzed, therefore we used it as a reference to check if the rat Caprin-2 contains similar functional domains.
Using the naked mole rat as a reference, we found five functional genes (CYP1A2, RBP3, GUCY2F, CRYBB1, and GRK7) encoding visual proteins that have degenerated into pseudogenes in M. davidii but not P. alecto.
The present study compared the effects of each of the eight fatty acids against an artificial fatty acid mixture that contained the same eight fatty acids, with diazepam as a reference anxiolytic drug, in Wistar rats subjected to the elevated plus maze [ 10].
BAC clones used for FISH were screened based on genome information from mouse and rat, using as a reference the neo-sex linked geneo-sex linkedied in a previous study [ 16].
To use A 3 event for inter-RAT HOs as a reference case, the transmitted power is assumed to be the same for both HSPA and LTE in the simulations.
The cerebellar kinetics of each radioligand was not noticeably altered by these pretreatments (Fig. 4a f), indicating the availability of the cerebellum as a reference region for quantitative analyses in rats.
It is also noteworthy that pharmacokinetic evaluations of H3R ligands were quantitatively performable in rats using the cerebellum as a reference region lacking the target receptor.
Following the 12 h of fasting period, the rats were weighed and the dosage was calculated using the body weight as a reference and the volume of the extracts given to the rats were 1 ml/100 g of the body weight.
