1. Vitamin D deficiency was induced in anicteric Wistar rats, Wistar rats before common bile-duct ligation was performed and Gunn rats with unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. 2. The effect of ultraviolet radiation on plasma concentrations of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D was studied in a group of control anicteric Wistar rats (n = 11), Wistar rats 8 days after common bile-duct ligation (n = 7) with conju...

High salt diet and prednisone administration will increase blood pressure which chronically causes heart muscle remodeling so that it appears macroscopically as left ventricular hypertrophy. Bay leaf extract contains flavonoids can lower decrease thickening. To determine the effect of bay (Syzygiumpolyanthum) on ventricle thickening rat (Rattus norvegicus wistar strain) in hypertensive model. T...

Rats were immunized ( 1 ) with Jensen rat sarcoma tissue; ( 2 ) with emulsions of normal rat spleen; ( 3 ) with normal rat blood. Sera from rats of these three series were tested against ( a ) cultures of Jensen rat sarcoma cells; ( b ) cultures of normal spleen cells; (c) cultures of mouse carcinoma 63; ( d ) cultures of cells of normal mouse spleen. Jensen Rat Sarcoma Tissue as Antigen: Two s...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether exaggerated natriuresis and exaggerated renal sympathoinhibition during volume loading constitute an intermediate phenotype in spontaneously hypertensive rats. DESIGN The borderline hypertensive rat, the F1 of a cross between a spontaneously hypertensive rat and a normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rat, is a NaCl-sensitive model of genetic hypertension. In addition to hy...

A fifth limb, quite independent of the others, was found in a pup born in our colony of Wistar rats. The malformation is described.

The aim of this work was to elucidate the possible role of glucocorticoids in the bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced decrease in hepatic IGF-I synthesis. For this purpose, we studied the effect of LPS on IGF-I in two rat strains, Wistar and Lewis, which have different adrenal responses to inflammation. Compared with Wistar rats, Lewis rats have a reduced hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal r...

Dieta.—Male Wistar rats were placed on a semi synthetic diet at weaning, and the food consump tion of each was measured. A week later each rat was paired with one of equal body weight and food consumption. At this time one rat of each pair was designated as the experimental rat which would receive a tumor transplant; the other rat, his pair fed control, consumed the amount of diet eaten by th...

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of short-term exposure to high oxygen concentrations (hyperoxia) on Wistar rat lungs. METHODS Animals were divided into three groups exposed to hyperoxia for 10', 30' and 90' (O10', O30', O90', respectively), together with a control group (exposed to room air). The animals were sacrificed 24 h after exposure. Bronchoalveolar lavage was performed, and the lungs w...

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an incurable disease that can be prevented clinically from worsening. This based on classification related to pancreatic damage in total or partial so the impact insulin production. Glucose transporter a protein glucose uptake outside cell into and provides important role body's homeostasis. transporter-2 (GLUT-2) found pancreas, liver, kidney. Parameters used are expr...

Objectives: The aim of this article is to explain the detailed methodology record Motor evoked potential (MEP) and somatosensory (SSEP) in adult albino Wistar rat, male (200–250 g) which has not been defined previously. Materials Methods: We have standardised recording both MEP SSEP these rats under anaesthesia on ADI digital polyrite system. Results: Evoked potentials widely studied spinal cor...
