In vitro bronchial responsiveness in two highly inbred rat strains.
We investigated methacholine (MCh)-induced bronchoconstriction in explanted airways from Fischer and Lewis rats. Lung explants, 0.5- to 1.0-mm thick, were prepared from agarose-inflated lungs of anesthetized 8- to 12-wk-old male rats. After overnight culture, videomicroscopy was used to record baseline images of the individual airways. Dose-response curves to MCh were then constructed by repeat...
متن کاملPhenotypic variation in sensorimotor performance among eleven inbred rat strains.
As a first step toward identifying the genes that determine sensorimotor ability (motor coordination) we subjected 11 inbred strains of rats to three different tests for this trait. Rats were tested at 13 wk of age to determine how long they could remain on 1) a rotating cylinder as the velocity of rotation increased every 5 s (1-direction rotation test), 2) a rotating cylinder that reversed di...
متن کاملShear stress is differentially regulated among inbred rat strains.
An important compensatory response to atherosclerosis is vascular remodeling, with maintenance of vessel lumen diameter and shear stress. Both hemodynamic and environmental factors contribute to vascular remodeling and shear stress regulation, and the process is probably also influenced by genetic factors. To establish an animal model for genetic analysis of shear stress regulation and vascular...
متن کاملThe Ah phenotype. Survey of forty-eight rat strains and twenty inbred mouse strains.
Forty-four inbred and four randombred rat strains and 20 inbred mouse strains were examined for their Ah phenotype by determining the induction of liver microsomal aryl hydrocarbon (benzo[a]pyrene) hydroxylase activity (EC 1.14.14.1) by intraperitoneal treatment with either beta-naphthoflavone or 3-methylcholanthrene. All 48 rat strains were found to be Ah-responsive. The maximally induced hydr...
متن کاملProtective Effect of Folic Acid against Apoptosis Induced by Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rat Liver
The anti-apoptotic gene bcl-2 is located in mitochondria, but it is uncertain whether its expression affects hepatocyte survival in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This experiment was designed to evaluate the role of folic acid in expression of bcl-2 in I/R in rat liver. Eighteen Wister rats were divided into sham-operated controlgroup (C) (n=6), I/R group (...
