Spontaneous convulsions in Charles River Wistar rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spontaneous clonic convulsions in the Charles River Wistar rat have been observed at an incidence of 1.5%. Females (2.3%) are more susceptible than males (0.7%). These convulsions are not seen in rats of less than approximately 16 weeks of age. Some animals have exhibited single convulsions whilst others have convulsed on numerous occasions. No histopathological abnormalities of the brain have been recorded for these animals following routine examination.

Diurnal cardiovascular patterns in spontaneously hypertensive and Wistar-Kyoto rats.
This study was designed to determine whether diurnal patterns of blood pressure, heart rate, or locomotor activity differed among two substrains of Wistar-Kyoto rats, derived originally from Charles River or Taconic Farms stock, or the spontaneously hypertensive rat. Cardiovascular parameters were continuously monitored over 24 hours. Resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure values were st...

The incidence and range of spontaneous central nervous system tumors were determined in control Charles River rodents (Sprague-Dawley, Han-Wistar, Wistar rats, and CD-1 mice) from regulatory carcinogenicity studies carried out over the period 2002 to 2013 and were compared with the previously published data. In both species, the brain was notably more affected than the spinal cord. Incidences w...

The aim of this study was to determine the range and incidences of spontaneous microscopic lesions of the pituitary gland in control Han-Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats and CD-1 mice from 104-week carcinogenicity studies carried out between 1998 and 2010 at Charles River Edinburgh. In both strains of rats and in CD-1 mice, non-proliferative lesions of the pituitary gland were generally uncommon,...

The incidence and range of spontaneous thyroid and parathyroid glands findings were determined in control Han-Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats, and CD-1 mice from 104-week carcinogenicity studies carried out between 1998 and 2010 at Charles River Edinburgh. In both strains of rats and in CD-1 mice, non-proliferative lesions of the thyroid or parathyroid glands were generally uncommon apart from s...

Objective(s) High blood glucose induces molecular, cellular, morphological and behavioral changes in the brain. Metabolic disturbances, contribute to the hippocampus injury and development of partial focal seizures. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of infantile repeated hyperglycemia on neuronal density of hippocampal CA3region in newborn Wistar male rats and its effect on ...
