The effects of genetic factors on gastrocarcinogenesis in rats were studied by giving 83 micrograms/ml of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) in the drinking-water to ACI strain rats, Buffalo strain rats, and their F1 hybrid rats for eight months. Animals were sacrificed on the 505th experimental day and examined histologically. The incidences of gastric carcinoma were as follows (no. of carcinoma-bearing rats/no. of effective animals): ACI rats, 86% (12/14) of males and 53% (9/17) of females; Buffalo rats, 19% (3/16) of males and 0% (0/13) of females; F1 hybrids between ACI and Buffalo rats, 23% (7/30) of males and 3% (1/32) of females. The incidence of gastric carcinoma in F1 hybrids was significantly lower than that in ACI rats but not significantly different from that in Buffalo rats. These results suggest that resistance to gastrocarcinogenesis by MNNG is an autosomally dominant trait.

Methylprednisolone (MPL) is widely used in clinical and veterinary medicine to manage inflammation. Plasma profiles and PK parameters in 7 species were digitized from 10 literature sources along with our recent PBPK results in rats. Basic allometric scaling provided reported clearance (CL) and distribution volume (V) from noncompartmental analysis highly correlated with body weights (R > 0.

Addiction vulnerability is associated with the tendency to attribute incentive salience to reward predictive cues. Both addiction and the attribution of incentive salience are influenced by environmental and genetic factors. To characterize the genetic contributions to incentive salience attribution, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in a cohort of 1596 heterogeneous stock (HS) rats.

Urban wild meat value chains represent a vital source of protein and livelihood intertwined with culture and complex market systems. Against the backdrop of escalating zoonotic disease concerns linked to wild meat, this research aimed to unravel the structure, governance, species composition and actor characteristics of the wild meat value chain in Lagos, Africa's most populated city. We employed a cross-sectional study design incorporating qualitative and quantitative approaches.

To investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the monoclonal antibody (mAb) in male reproductive tissues and develop a translational physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to characterize the PK data. The PK of a non-cross-reactive antibody (trastuzumab) was investigated in human FcRn-expressing male mice following a 10 mg/kg intravenous dose. The PK in plasma and male reproductive tissues (i.

Rationale: Opioid misuse is a prominent public health concern, although patterns of use may confer different vulnerability to relapse. Continuous-access (ContA) self-administration has traditionally been used in preclinical models to study drug-motivated behaviors and produces robust escalation of intake and tolerance development. Alternatively, studies using intermittent access (IntA), where self-administration occurs in discrete drug-available periods, suggest that overall intake may be dissociable from subsequent increases in motivation (i.
