Sentence examples for selection of rats from inspiring English sources

For instance, selection of rats and silver foxes for reduced fear-induced aggression towards humans did not change predatory or inter-male aggression (Naumenko et al. 1989; Popova et al. 1993).

Selection of rats with hyperactivity (HIGHFI, n = 9), hypoactivity (LOWFI, n = 10) and intermediate group (INTFI, n = 21) according to the mean number of lever presses during FI and time-course of their activity are represented in figure 2. HIGHFI activity was 3 and 6 times higher than that of the INTFI and LOWFI, respectively.

As the intensity of the initial inflammation has a predictive value for long-term locomotor outcomes in AIA rats, a simple measurement of paw diameter at the onset of inflammation will allow the early selection of rats with respect to locomotor outcomes.

Selection of rats with hyperactivity (HIGHEXT, n = 10), hypoactivity (LOWEXT, n = 10) and intermediate group (INTEXT, n = 20) according to the mean number of lever presses during EXT and time-course of their activity are represented in figure 3. HIGHEXT activity was about 4 and 10 times higher than that of INTEXT and LOWEXT, respectively.

This qPCR-based assay is easy to implement, cost-effective, and provides a reliable quantification of RNA integrity to assist in the selection of rat RNA samples suitable for downstream RT-qPCR gene expression analyses.

It is, in general, possible that the difference in the learning rate between the first and last parts of the blocks is affected by our task setting; a new block only began when the action selections of rats became stable (i.e. the rate of selecting the more rewarding hole reached 80%).

A random selection of 20 rats was trained to walk along the length of a one meter long tunnel with a built-in force plate, with additional load in a backpack (Fig. 1; Bravenboer et al. 2001).

The observed small genetic basis in a wide selection of laboratory rat strains does not mimic genetic variation in the human population and as a result, studies and pharmacological tests in rat models neglect potential modulatory effects caused by genetic variation.

In experiment 1, both five- and two-bottle preference tests were performed in normally hydrated rats to permit the selection of five groups of rats showing the same taste preference for one of four prototypical tastes.
