Design and Management of Research Facilities for Mice - ScienceDirect Mice are the foremost laboratory animal species used in biomedical research today. This chapter provides an overview of the salient features pertaining to ... NS Lipman - 《Mouse in Biomedical Research》 被引量: 21发表: 2007年...
In laboratory animal facilities, it is a common code of practice to house female mice in groups. However, some experimental conditions require to house them individually, even though social isolation may impair their well-being. Therefore, we introduced a separated pair housing system and investigate...
Housing in the MDS determined a strong up-regulation of activity and feeding behaviour and a concomitant decrease in inactivity. Importantly, housing in the MDS disrupted circadian rhythmicity in mice and also determined a decrease in body weight. Finally, when mice were tested in the EPM a ...
Imputation of missing scale scores was performed by multiple imputation [42] using the R package mice [43], applying the predictor matrix quickpred (mincor = 0.3) and performing m = 5 iterations. Mixed-effects models for repeated measures were conducted with the multiply imputed ...

Items assessed the presence or absence of eight potential housing problems: (1) pests, such as bugs, ants or mice; (2) lack of air conditioning; (3) water leaks; (4) mold; (5) a smoke detector that’s missing or not working; (6) an oven, stove, or refrigerator that’s not ...
Comprehensive searches (via Ovid, CABI, Web of Science, Proquest and SCOPUS on May 24 2020) yielded 10,094 publications. Screening for inclusion criteria (published in English, using mice or rats and providing ‘enrichments’ in long-term housing) yielded 214 studies (within 165 articles, using...
A long-brewing crisis of housing instability in the U.S. threatens to mar the public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic by undermining strategies such as social distancing, says a new working paper co-written by an interdisciplinary team of researc
not eating. This consistency of timing of the estimated BMR implies that our pragmatic definition of BMR is of biological relevance. Importantly, we found that when we divided the daily mean energy expenditure (MEE) of the mice at 30 °C with the BMR defined in this way, we obtained a ra...
