To that extent, he pointed out, "Smelling a Rat" is very much like life itself.
Although the frequency of chromosome damage is very similar in these two species, the Wistar rat is very sensitive to radiation-induced lung cancer while the Syrian hamster is very resistant.
Since the dura in rat is very thin, it is impossible to seal it off after cutting it open, as done in myelotomy; therefore, we used a modified, partial myelotomy which does not require any suturing of the dura.
Since the dura in rat is very thin, it is impossible to seal it off after cutting it open, as done in myelotomy; thus, we used a modified, partial myelotomy which did not require suturing of the dura and which is very similar to the procedure used for grafting cells into the lesion site, e.g., McDonald et al. [17].
Unfortunately, despite the very large number of experiments available in public repositories, the overlap of comparable perturbations between human, mouse and rat is very sparse.
The raw data were different: the rat albumin and c-myc genes were used by Huelsenbeck et al.; since mouse and rat are very similar, this is not likely to matter much.
The clearance half-life of corticosterone in the rat is very fast [measured here at <5 min compared with previous estimates by ourselves of 8.6 min (37) and others of 9.3 min (44)]; therefore, we suggest that much of this delay is due to the time for the inhibitory mechanism to occur.
Treatment with cytotoxic drug (colchicine) or retinoic acid (RA) resulted in a slight increase in P-gp activity in the parental and RAR alpha-infected melanoma cells, whereas the increase in P-gp function in the infected hepatoma cells (both human and rat) was very prominent.
She talked about a study by the research psychologist Bob Rosenthal that had revealed something surprising: experimenters who had been told that average rats were very intelligent helped improve the rats' ability to navigate a maze — they felt more warmly toward them and they handled them more gently.
