In August rats reperfusion after regional myocardial ischemia in situ or intracoronary administration of hydrogen peroxide less significantly suppressed contractile activity of the heart compared to Wistar rats. Activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase in the myocardium during reperfusion remained unchanged in August rats. In Wistar rats a profound inhibition of cardiac function was accompanied by a decrease in enzyme activity.

Genetic Characteristics of the Rat Fibroblast Cell Line Rat-1.

Cells

December 2024

Institute of Molecular Pathobiochemistry, Experimental Gene Therapy and Clinical Chemistry (IFMPEGKC), RWTH, University Hospital Aachen, D-52074 Aachen, Germany.

The Rat-1 cell line was established as a subclone of the parental rat fibroblastoid line F2408, derived from Fisher 344 rat embryos. Rat-1 cells are widely used in various research fields, especially in cancer biology, to study the effects of oncogenes on cell proliferation. They are also crucial for investigating signal transduction pathways and play a key role in drug testing and pharmacological studies due to their rapid proliferation.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation, tissue damage, and fibrosis, significantly affecting the quality of life. While there are currently some effective treatments available, they often come with side effects. There is an urgent need to find new treatments that can further improve therapeutic outcomes and reduce side effects.

An Updated Bio-Behavioral Profile of the Flinders Sensitive Line Rat: Reviewing the Findings of the Past Decade.

Pharmacol Res Perspect

February 2025

Faculty of Health Sciences, Centre of Excellence for Pharmaceutical Sciences, North-West University, Potchefstroom, South Africa.

The Flinders sensitive line (FSL) rat is an accepted rodent model for depression that presents with strong face, construct, and predictive validity, thereby making it suitable to investigate novel antidepressant mechanisms. Despite the translatability of this model, available literature on this model has not been reviewed for more than ten years. The PubMed, ScienceDirect and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant articles between 2013 and 2024, with keywords relating to the Flinders line rat, and all findings relevant to treatment naïve animals, included.

Background: Imaging biomarkers have helped to reconceptualize Alzheimer's disease pathophysiology. More specifically, positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceuticals for non-invasively assessing amyloid-beta (Aß) plaques, glucose metabolism, and glial reactivity allow for tracking disease progression in a temporally ordered manner. However, whether transgenic models recapitulate biomarker-related changes remains elusive.

Background: Recent studies have suggested a transient glucose hypermetabolism in early phases of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), which is followed by a characteristic glucose hypometabolism in dementia stages. This phenomenon desveres further investigation and it is suggested to be associated to glial/inflammatory or compensatory neuronal responses. Here, we aimed to longitudinally investigate brain glucose metabolism in an AD animal model and explore associated cellular and inflammatory changes.
