Phenotypical study was carried out in rats with pendulum movements. The animals exhibited a high level of abortive seizures in response to audiogenic stimuli and longer postictal catalepsy in comparison with those in Wistar population. Seizure severity positively correlated with the duration of poststimulus catalepsy (r=0.90). High aggressiveness towards humans, the absence of BP elevation in stress, lower body weights, and lower weights of the kidneys and spleen in PM rats are considered concomitant traits. Correlations were detected between startle-1 and BP in rats with pendulum movements (r=0.70) and between startle-10 and BP in narcotized Wistar rats (r=-0.0.71). The newly described signs in rats with pendulum movements did not contradict the signs of the focal seizure model with typical automatisms in humans.

A powder formulation of viable bacteria (AMUC) was evaluated in a 90-day repeated-dose toxicity study in rats and a battery of genotoxicity studies to evaluate AMUC as a food ingredient. All studies followed Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development protocols (OECD TG 408, 471 473, 474). AMUC was administered to rats gavage at 0, 500, 1000, and 2000 mg/kg body weight/day (equivalent to 0, 4.

The study aims to investigate the effects and potential mechanism of raw and processed Aconitum pendulum Busch on rheumatoid arthritis(RA) and analyze their toxicity attenuating and efficacy retaining effects. The bovine type Ⅱ collagen-induced arthritis(CIA) rat model was established. The weight, cardiac index, immune organ index, and arthritis index of the rats were recorded and calculated after administration.

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death, disability, and mental health disorders. A wide range of bioactive lipids, cytokines, and chemokines drives the inflammatory response. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of buprenorphine on moderate Trauma Brain Injury (mTBI) in rats.

Research into genetic and physiological mechanisms of widespread disorders such as arterial hypertension as well as neuropsychiatric and other human diseases is urgently needed in academic and practical medicine and in the field of biology. Nevertheless, such studies have many limitations and pose difficulties that can be overcome by using animal models. To date, for the purposes of creating animal models of human pathologies, several approaches have been used: pharmacological/chemical intervention; surgical procedures; genetic technologies for creating transgenic animals, knockouts, or knockdowns; and breeding.
