Castration eliminates conspecific aggression in group-housed CD1 male surveillance mice (Mus musculus) Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal ScienceM Lynne Kesel DVM
Male mice were castrated before 1 mo of age and then placed into the surveillance program. Each week, veterinary technicians recorded all incidences of fighting in cages of castrated and noncastrated male surveillance mice to determine differences between groups. Over a 3-mo period, the overall ...
Animals Male mice of two commonly used laboratory mouse lines were used starting at 8 weeks of age (n = 18 each): C57Bl/6 J inbred mice (Charles River, Germany) and CD1 outbred mice (Crl:CD1(ICR), Charles River, Ger- many). Breeding and rearing of the mice was done in ...
Artificial visible light with intensity of 77 mW/cm2 on the area of 72.5 cm2 and frequency of EM radiation between 3.9 x 1014 Hz and 7.5 x 1014 Hz W/cm2 was subjected to 5-week old male CD1 mice 8 hours per day for 3, 6, and 12 days. Exposure caused vari able degenerative ...
CD1 Mice Nomenclature Crl:CD1(ICR) (outbred)Strain origin The original group of Swiss mice that served as progenitors of this stock consisted of 2 male and 7 female albino mice derived from a non-inbred stock in the laboratory of Dr. de Coulon, Centre Anticancéreux Romand,Lausanne, ...
(Fig.5a1–4, b2–4). HE staining of skin lesions in NCSTN gene knockout mice showed epidermal thickening or reduction, hair follicle keratinization, and increased inflammatory cell infiltration (Fig.5d1–6). We found that male mice developed symptoms more frequently, among the 17 male mice,...
The loss of Spocd1 in mice results in male-specific infertility but does not affect either piRNA biogenesis or the localization of MIWI2 to the nucleus. SPOCD1 is a nuclear protein whose expression is restricted to the period of de novo genome methylation. It co-purifies in vivo with DNMT...

Rat pups subjected to a single 24 h maternal deprivation show altered stress responsiveness and cognitive performance in the water maze in adulthood. Here we show in 6-month-old male CD1 mice (deprived 24 h at postnatal day 8) an initial impairment in reversal learning: relocating...
