The objective of the present study was to determine if modifications would occur due to epinephrine perfusion and simulating stressful situations (2 µg/ kg/ min, an animal)and transportation,causing change of the values of extractable protein concentrations, SDS PAGE profiles and the calpain calpastatin complex in silver rabbit longissimus muscles resulting in consequent changes in meat tendern...

Mouse models that recapitulate the full phenotypic spectrum of a psychiatric disorder, such as schizophrenia, are impossible. However, a more piecemeal recreation of phenotypic components is feasible and promises to harness the power of animal models using approaches that are either off limits or confounded by drug treatment in humans. In that context, animal models will have a central and indi...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a valuable translational tool that can be used to investigate alterations in brain structure and function in both patients and animal models of disease. Regional changes in brain structure, functional connectivity, and metabolite concentrations have been reported in depressed patients, giving insight into the networks and brain regions involved, however precl...

In cancer research, well characterized small animal models of human cancer, such as transgenic mice, have greatly accelerated the pace of development of cancer treatments. The goal of the Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP) is to make those same models available for the development and evaluation of novel radiation therapies. In combination with advanced imaging methods, small anim...

Animal models play a critical role in diabetes research, aiding the comprehension of both type 1 and 2 pathogenesis assessment potential therapeutic interventions. These offer numerous advantages, including ability to induce stable hyperglycemia hyperlipidemia, minimal variability, opportunity study genetic mutations single gene effects. However, they also present limitations such as lengthy in...

twenty-four 35-day-old lambs were distributed to a completely randomized design with 3 treatments to study the effects of number of feeding buckets per pen on performance, haematology and behaviour indicators. treatments consisted of 8 (t1), 4 (t2) or 2 (t3) feeding buckets/pen (8 lambs/pen). during the experiment, concentrate was fed at 08:30 in individual feeders. daily dry matter intake (dmi...

The objective of our study was to evaluate the effect use legume (Arachis pintoi) or nitrogen fertilization on animal performance, characteristics carcass and meat, fatty acids profile crossbred steers Megathyrsus maximus cv. Aruana pasture, overseeded with temperate grasses. experimental design completely randomized, three treatments replicates. experiment carried out from June October (127 d)...

Birds were randomlydist...

Goal: An important goal of the American Society for ably, the principal preclinical findings should be published in peer-reviewed journals. Safety issues should Neural Transplantation and Repair is to facilitate the discovery of novel cellular and molecular treatments for also be evaluated in the best and most appropriate animal model for potential toxicities including nonhuman nervous system (...

This study investigated effects of stocking rate on cattle performance, quality and quantity of corn residue, and impact of residue removal on grain yield for 5 yr at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln West Central Water Resources Field Laboratory near Brule, NE. Four removal treatments-1) no removal (control), 2) grazing at 2.5 animal unit month (AUM)/ha, 3) grazing at 5.0 AUM/ha, and 4) bal...
