Sentence examples for rat a strain from inspiring English sources

Genetic investigation of crescentic glomerulonephritis (Crgn) susceptibility in the Wistar Kyoto rat, a strain uniquely susceptible to nephrotoxic nephritis (NTN), allowed us to positionally clone the activator protein-1 transcription factor Jund as a susceptibility gene associated with Crgn.

Following fear conditioning (FC), Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats, a strain known to be particularly stress-sensitive, have increased REMS fragmentation that can be quantified as a shift in the distribution of REMS episodes towards the more frequent occurrence of sequential REMS (inter-REMS episode interval ≤ 3 min) vs. single REMS (interval > 3 min).

Another study showed that Goto-Kakizaki rats, a strain genetically prone to the development of type II diabetes, presented more bone resorption than Wistar rats even without the induction of periodontal disease [25].

Briefly, Wistar rats, a strain of albino laboratory rats that are often used to study safety and efficacy testing, were subjected to saline, FLP, or CTX treatment.

Wistar-Albino-Glaxo from Rijswijk (WAG/Rij) rats, a strain of Wistar origin, is a widely used, valid genetic model of generalized absence epilepsy [ 23].

Very recently, Jiang et al. [ 14] showed that Klk1b22, expressed as a recombinant protein, can induce SS-like experimental autoimmune KCS in otherwise healthy Lewis rats, a strain of animals not prone to SS-like disease.

In this study we explored the effects of neonatal exposure to high and low doses of BPA on reproductive parameters in female Sprague-Dawley rats, a strain reported to have low sensitivity to estrogenic compounds (Steinmetz et al. 1997).

We found that inhalation of O3 for a brief period causes concentration-dependent overt and latent neurophysiological and electrophysiological effects in SH rats, a strain of rat known to demonstrate cardiac effects in response to inhaled ambient PM, diesel exhaust particles, and acrolein (Farraj et al. 2009, 2011; Hazari et al. 2011).

As a follow-up to our previous work in Wistar-Furth rats (Murray et al. 2007), we examined the effect of duration of BPA exposure over a wide range of concentrations on the induction of preneoplastic lesions and DCIS in Sprague-Dawley rats, a strain used extensively for toxicology and carcinogenesis studies by the National Toxicology Program.

The rats showed a strain difference in susceptibility of the urinary bladder to saccharin; ACI rats were most susceptible and Sprague Dawley rats were most resistant to saccharin.

The tensile force in the FLT group rats was significantly smaller than those in the AGC and VIV group rats at a strain range between 0.30 and 0.75 (P < 0.05).
