Thirty-four drug-naïve adult male Wistar [RJ Han, Harlan Laboratories (Envigo)] rats were used for the two experiments (Exp.1: n = 18; Exp.2: n = 16). The animals were kept by controlled laboratory conditions (constant temperature and humidity) in polycarbonate cages under sta...
Although the cage was evaluated, using 6-month-old rats weighing 408 to 488 g, it can be easily adjusted for smaller rats. It also was successfully used to collect post-flight urine after the recent Spacelab Life Sciences-2 space shuttle flight. With its flexibility and ease of use, this...
2. The marked difference in behavioral dynamics between the two strains is clearly visible from the heatmaps of their investigation behavior (Fig. 2a–d). The relative dfferential investigation of the two stimuli (RDI) shows statistically significant higher values for SD rats (Fig. 2e), ...
