Abstract: Juvenile male rats frequently play more than female rats, but the presence of sex differences is affected by testing conditions and may also depend on the strain of rat. In this experiment, we tested play… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11302-017-9595-y
Abstract: Uridine 5′-diphosphate (UDP) plays an important role in controlling vascular tone; however, UDP-mediated response in metabolic syndromes, including obesity and type 2 diabetes in females, remains unclear. In this study, we investigated UDP-mediated response in… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) increase fracture risk; however, the association between obesity/T2D may be confounded by consumption of a diet high in fat, sucrose, and cholesterol (HFSC). OBJECTIVE The study objective was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.exer.2020.108208
Abstract: The processes involved in neurodevelopment and aging have not yet been fully discovered. This is especially challenging in premorbid or borderline situations of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or glaucoma. The retina, as part of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.909182
Abstract: Although rats with melanin-pigmentated retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells are physiologically more appropriate models for human eye research than their albino counterparts, reliable models from the former strain are not available to study retinal degeneration.… read more here.
