Determining the abundance and distribution of male mosquitoes in the wild and establishing species seasonality in candidate pilot sites is of particular interest with respect to the use of the sterile-male technique. With the knowledge that using mice as bait in BG-Sentinel traps effectively enhances Aedes albopictus male and female trapping success, the present study was designed to determine ...

IntroductionClinicians need reliable outcome predictors to improve the prognosis of septic patients. Mouse models are widely used in sepsis research. We aimed review how mouse were search for novel prognostic biomarkers order optimize their use future biomarker discovery.MethodsWe searched PubMed from 2012 July 2022 using “((sepsis) AND (mice)) ((prognosis) OR (prognostic biomarker))”.ResultsA ...

Background: There is a direct correlation between ocular vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level and progression of pathological outcomes in diabetic retinopathy. In our previous study, the periocular administration of propranolol and celecoxib could significantly reduce ocular VEGF levels in a diabetic mouse model. Here, we investigated the changes of serum VEGF after ...

ne of the most significant findings in recent stem cell research is the establishment of the induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, because they could have critical implications in both regenerative and reproductive medicine. Male gametes play a crucial role in transmitting genetic information to subsequent generations, and notably there are more and more patients with azoospermia, due to geneti...

The hormonal regulation of human CYP2C18 and CYP2C19, which are expressed in a male-specific manner in liver and kidney in a mouse transgenic model, was examined. The influence of prepubertal castration in male mice and testosterone treatment of female mice was investigated, as was the effect of continuous administration of growth hormone (GH) to transgenic males. Prepubertal castration of tran...

These experiments examined the effects of pre-test intra dorsal hippocampus (intra-CA1) administration of GABAA receptor agonist and antagonist, muscimol and bicuculline respectively, on state-dependent learning induced by lithium. Male NMRI mice were trained in a one-trial step-down inhibitory avoidance task, and immediately after training they received IP injections of either saline (10 mL/kg...

Figure Legend: Figure 1 Bone Increased bone in a female B6C3F1/N mouse from a chronic study. The medulla of this femur has been obliterated by increased amounts of bone. Figure 2 Bone Increased bone in a female B6C3F1/N mouse from a chronic study (higher magnification of Figure 1). There is a mix of mineralized and unmineralized bone in the medulla of the femur. Figure 3 Bone Increased bone in ...

Benzo[j]fluoranthene (B[j]F), trans-4,5-dihydro-4,5-dihydroxy-B[j]F, and trans-9,10-dihydro-9,10-dihydroxy-B[j]F were evaluated for tumorigenic activity in newborn CD1 mice. These dihydrodiols were assayed at doses of 1.10 and 0.275 mumol/mouse. B[j]F and the syn- and anti-diol epoxides derived from these dihydrodiols were evaluated at doses of 1.10, 0.275, and 0.110 mumol/mouse (80 mice/group)...
