In pentobarbital-anesthetized, mechanically ventilated Sprague Dawley rats, we measured pial vessel diameters with the use of a cranial window preparation.
To investigate the contribution of individual differences in post-novelty exposure maternal care to the observed social and neuroendocrine differences between Novel and Home rats, we measured both discriminative and non-discriminative maternal care during the first 10 postnatal days.
After decapitating the rats, we measured trunk BPb concentrations in GLE dams after 14 days of Pb pretreatment and on PND0.
In these transgenic rats we measured a significant increase (p < 0.001) in GLO-I activity in the mesenteric arteries compared with their wild-type littermates (Fig. 1c).
To explore the effects of α-zearalanol oncystathionine β-synthase in HHcy rats, we measured the cystathionine β-synthase expression and bioactivity of each group.
In order to determine the metabolic characteristics of the LZ and ZDF rats, we measured their body weight, plasma levels of insulin, glucose, triglyceride and blood pressure.
To explore the effect of F. mume on TLR4 signaling in chronic BCCAo rats, we measured the hippocampal level of TLR4 and MyD88.
Because of the statistically significant decrease in apoptosis in adult BPA 250 rats, we measured the expression of several proteins commonly linked to apoptosis.
Because hypoxic animals had a reduced body weight gain as compared with the nomoxic rats, we measured the ratio of tumor weight to body weight and obtained similar results, showing decreased ratio of tumor weight to body weight.
In order to analyze the antioxidative potential of REO to prevent the CCl4-induced biochemical changes in the liver of rats, we measured the malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels and activities of catalase (CAT), peroxidase (Px), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione reductase (GR) as biomarkers of REO effects.
