Methylazoxymethanol (MAM) acetate was given once i.p. to intact adult rats and to rats at 24 h after partial hepatectomy. In each group, tumors developed as early as 10 months. The incidence of neoplastic nodules and of hepatocellular carcinomas in the carcinogen-treated intact adult rats was approximately 70% and, in the rats treated after partial hepatectomy, it was approximately 80%. The data suggest that both dividing and resting liver cells are sensitive to the tumor-initiating effects of methylazoxymethanol acetate.

Exaggerated neuronal excitation by glutamate is a well-known cause of excitotoxicity, a key factor in numerous neurodegenerative disorders. This study examined the neurotoxic effect of monosodium glutamate (MSG) in the brain cortex of rats and focused on assessing the potential neuroprotective effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs). Four groups of adult male rats (n = 10) were assigned as follows; normal control, ω-3 PUFAs (400 mg/kg) alone, MSG (4 mg/g) alone, and MSG plus ω-3 PUFAs (4 mg/g MSG plus 400 mg/kg ω-3 PUFAs).

Objective: Nitrate is ubiquitously found in the environment and is one of the main components of nitrogen fertilizers. Previous studies have shown that nitrate disrupts the reproductive system in aquatic animals, but no study has evaluated the impact of nitrate exposure on the uterus in mammals. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of maternal exposure to nitrate during the prenatal period on uterine morphology and gene expression in adult female F1 rats.

Background: Epoetin alfa is a derivative of the erythropoietin hormone. This study aims to investigate the epoetin alfa effect on anxiety-like behaviors.
Methods: Adult female Wistar Albino rats were divided into Control (n = 8), 1000 U Epoetien alfa, and 2000 U Epoetien alpha.
Sexual dimorphism in right ventricular adaptation to pressure overload involves differential angiogenic response.

This study investigated the sexual dimorphism in right ventricle (RV) remodeling in right heart failure susceptible Fischer CDF rats using the pulmonary artery banding (PAB) model. Echocardiography and hemodynamic measurements were performed in adult male and female Fischer CDF rats at 1- or 2-weeks post-PAB. RV systolic pressure and RV hypertrophy were significantly elevated in PAB rats compared to sham control at 1- and 2-weeks post-PAB; however, no differences were observed between male and female rats.

Maternal diet has long-term effects on offspring brain development and behavior. Sucrose (table sugar) intakes are high in modern diets, but it is not clear how a maternal high-sucrose diet (HSD) affects the offspring. In rats, a maternal HSD (26% of calories from sucrose, which is human-relevant) alters maternal metabolism and brain and also alters adult offspring endocrinology and behavior in a sex-specific manner.
