Finally, the same studies [ 124, 125] using sheep and rats, evaluated the effect of PRP combined with microfractures on healing of chondral defects, showing that PRP application in addition to microfractures resulted in a better cartilage healing than microfractures alone.
The susceptibilities of the different congenic rat strains to E2-induced mammary cancer were compared with ACI and BN rats evaluated contemporaneously at the same institution.
Memory and learning abilities of rats were evaluated with Morris water maze (MWM) test.
For MRI data analysis, the difference between T2W and rCBV values obtained in control vs pilocarpine-treated rats was evaluated with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by the LSD post-hoc test, setting the significance at p<0.05.
The cognitive capacity of rats was evaluated with Y-electric maze.
Differences in mean mC content between male and female rats were evaluated with the Mann-Whitney U test.
In order to confirm the antineuropathic effect of 7-hydroxy-3,4-dihydrocadalin, streptozotocin-diabetic rats were evaluated with the von Frey filaments.
To reveal the underlying molecular mechanisms for the difference between genders in kidney function, the gender-dependent gene expression in kidneys of three groups of 36 day-old rats was evaluated with microarrays.
Sporadic MTC occurs in 0.5 1% of most rat species evaluated, with increased frequency in males and with advancing age; spontaneous RET mutations have not been reported, and some typical histological features of human MTC are generally lacking.
The CST (5 nM) effects were also tested in simulated ischemia/reperfusion experiments on cardiomyocytes isolated from young-adult rats, evaluating cell survival with propidium iodide labeling.
