The aim of this research was to identify the molecular bases of differences in sensitivity to corticosteroid hormones between Brown Norway and Fischer 344 rats. We previously showed an apparent insensitivity to adrenalectomy in Brown Norway rats. Based on our first hypothesis of a different activity/reactivity of the mineralocorticoid signaling pathway between the two rat strains, we sequenced ...

Murine rodents are excellent models for study of adaptive radiations and speciation. Brown Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) are successful global colonizers and the contributions of their domesticated laboratory strains to biomedical research are well established. To identify nucleotide-based speciation timing of the rat and genomic information contributing to its colonization capabilities, we a...

Using a questionnaire survey, this study compared psychological adaptation (self-esteem, life satisfaction, and mental health problems) of Turkish adolescents in Norway and Sweden, and examined to what extent ethnic and majority identities, acculturation strategies, and perceived discrimination accounted for adaptation among Turkish adolescents. The samples consisted of 407 Turks (111 in Norway...
