Testosterone’s regulation of the HPA axis differs for adolescent and adult male rats
… and meet the demands of their environment. In adult male rats, CORT release in response to stressors is dampened by the gonadal hormone testosterone. Adolescent male rats secrete more CORT in response to stressors than do adults and our lab has previously reported that gonadectomised …

Effects of Electrical Stimulation and Testosterone in Translational Models of Peripheral Nerve Injury
… (TP) in this most proximal injury model. Adult male rats were divided into intracranial sham-operated, intracranial crush, and intracranial crush plus ES+TP combination therapy groups. Animals were observed daily for return of facial nerve function and motor nerve conduction studies were …

"""Copulatory memory"": A novel model for the study of recognition in the adult male rat"
… examine a form of recognition that occurs in rats within the context of mating behavior. Sexually-naive, adult, male rats are capable of recognizing familiar females with which they have previously interacted. This so-called ""copulatory memory"" model attempts to define a functional system …

Urinary Excretion of (1-3)-Beta-D-Glucans.
… glucans were administered to adult male rats in the presence or absence of toxic challenge. Urine specimens were collected and analyzed by fluorescence spectroscopy, size-exclusion chromatography and GPC/MALLS. 71 ± 3% of fluorescence remained in the >5K MWCO fraction; this …

Taurine's effect on cocaine reward and neurogenesis in the adolescent male rat brain.
… critical transition from childhood to adulthood including both maturation of the body and the brain. Neuroplastic changes result in dynamic organization of the brain during adolescence, leaving them vulnerable to development of mental illness and drug-seeking behavior. According to the …

A new surgical model or studying the healing response of renal tissue in the presence of collagen-glycosaminoglycan matrices
… created in the cortex of the left kidney of 20 adult male rats (Rattus norvegicu). Three wounds were each filled with one of three types of matrices, while the fourth remained empty to serve as a control. Four weeks post-operatively, the animals were sacrificed and kidneys were processed by …

Electrophysiologic detection of the neurotoxic effects of acrylamide and 2,5-hexanedione in rats
… subcutaneously placed electrodes in anesthetized rats, were used to detect the neurotoxic effects of acrylamide and 2,5-hexanedione. Sixty adult male rats were equally divided into four groups: acrylamide (20 mg/kg/day), 2,5-hexanedione (350 mg/kg/day), food restricted and control. Brain stem …

Study of the androgenic activity of the regenerating adrenal cortex.
… of the adrenal cortex has been studied in adult male rats; circulating androgens were assessed through sexual accessory organ weights and zinc 65 uptake by the dorsolateral prostate. Acclimated intact and castrated animals were used as well as animals with regenerating cortices (bilateral - …

Structural and Molecular Correlates of Individual Differences in Anxiety Behavior and the Stress Response
… to stress. Anxious Sprague Dawley and Lewis rats had shorter apical dendrites in pyramidal neurons of mPFC and anxiety correlated negatively with dendritic arbor size. Densitometry analysis found individual differences in mRNA expression of the neuropeptide …

Face Motor Cortex Neuroplasticity Associated with Alterations in the Oral Environment of the Adult Rat
… ICMS mapping was carried out in anaesthetised adult male rats. Consistent with previous findings, AD and GG had extensive motor representations showing considerable overlap in naïve and sham control rats. AD and GG motor representations were also found within face-S1. Left and right AD (LAD, …

Acute Physiological Effects of Brain-Generated 17β-Estradiol in the Rodent Primary Auditory Cortex
… endocrine and non-endocrine forebrain regions of males and females of a variety of species. Research conducted in songbirds has established that E2 is rapidly synthesized in the auditory forebrain in response to salient auditory experience, and this locally-synthesized E2 contributes to auditory …

Trpv1 Channels Contribute to Behavioral Hypersensitivity and Spontaneous Activity In Nociceptors After Spinal Cord Injury
… produced contusive SCI at thoracic level T10 in adult, male rats and harvested lumbar (L4/L5) dorsal root ganglia (DRG) from sham-treated and SCI rats 3 days and 1 month after injury, as well as from age-matched naive control rats. Whole-cell patch clamp recordings were made from small (soma …

The Role of NADPH Oxidase in Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Alterations to AMPA Receptor Trafficking and NMDA Receptor Function
… organotypical hippocampal slices prepared from adult male rats were performed to examine the role of the OGD/R-induced increase in NADPH oxidase activity in accelerating the endocytic machineries involved in the surface removal and selective degradation of the AMPA receptor GluR2 subunit …
