Wistar Animals Lab Report

Decent Essays
All of the animal experiments were performed under an approved animal use regulation. Wistar rats (200−250 g) were procured from the Laboratory Animal Center. Animals were acclimated for at least 5 days, and fasted overnight before the experiment.
2.4. Standard solutions
Standard solutions of 100.0 µg/mL of FLX, RIS, 9-OH-RIS and OLA each were prepared in methanol. The stock solutions were further diluted with methanol to obtain working solutions for the preparation of calibration standards. All solutions were stored at 4°C and were brought to room temperature before use and could be used for 15 days from the date of preparation. The OLA solution was further diluted with methanol to 12.0µg/ml.

    The separation of mixtures to obtain pure products is done through a technique called distillation. This lab looks at two different distillation techniques, simple and fractional. Acetone and butanone were mixed together and then put through the distillation process in order to obtain each as a pure substance. These substances were boiled into vials that gave us fractions #1-4. Fraction #1 was obtained through simple distillation and fractions #2-4 were obtained through fractional distillation.…

    Two adult C57BL/6 male and/or female black mice (20-30g) were Scheduled 1 euthanized by carbon dioxide asphyxiation and cervical dislocation according to the Animals Scientific Procedures Act 1986. The distal ileum (2-3cm) were dissected and mounted to the aerator, attached with a force transducer and placed in the organ bath (as shown in Figure 1) set between 32-37°C containing Krebs solution. Krebs solution was prepared making up 25L in volume with the following added in a large beaker with distilled water, continuously stirring in…

    In the second method it was 0.86 ppm and in the third 7.31 ppm. Comparing these data, we see that the concentrations using the different methods, do differ a lot from one another. One of the reasons for this huge difference, was the use of a serological pipette instead of volumetric pipettes. For all transfer of solutions where a pipette was needed, a serological pipette was used. Now this could be one of the main causes of error in the data, because a serological pipette is not accurate, however a volumetric pipette is.…

    All animals used in this experiment were purchased from Harlan Sprague Dawley, Inc. (Indianapolis, IN, USA). The animal procedures are approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of East Tennessee State University, as well as complied with the NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. These animals were housed on a 12:12 h light cycle (lights on at 07:00 a.m.). Water and food were provided ad libitum. Rats were randomly assigned to different experimental groups after living an acclimation period of 5 days.…

    A rabbit strains against the box confining him, only able to move his head, as a scientist comes by to drop chemicals into his eyes. Hundreds of other rabbits are beside him, getting the same chemical dropped into their eyes that causes burning pain to erupt. Millions of animals go through excruciatingly painful tests that cause suffering and usually end in death, just so researchers can predict what might happen to a human if they were to use the product being tested. Animal testing is a controversial subject but in the end, it is unreliable, cruel, unjustified, and should come to an end. To begin with, animal experimentation provides unreliable test results and false information on the side effects of products.…

    “A Novel Application of Microfluidic Assay to Evaluate the Role of Calponin in Platelet Function and Clot Formation” Introduction: Platelets are a very important aspect of blood clotting. They are also essential in the evolution of clots in Coronary and Cerebral arteries, which cause heart attacks and strokes, respectively. Every year, 610,000 people die of heart disease in the United States; this is 1 in every 4 deaths. Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the United States.…

    Male or female Sprague-Dawley rats (8–12 weeks old) were purchased from Damul Sciences (Daejeon-si, Korea). This study was conducted in accordance with the Guidelines for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC, No: IACUC140047). Over the acclimatization period and during the study, the range of temperatures and humidity were recorded daily; ambient temperature was maintained in the 25 ± 1 °C range; humidity level was measured as 50 ± 5% RH; ventilation was 10–15 th/h. The room had an entirely artificial fluorescent lighting with a controlled cycle of 12 h light and 12 h dark. The measurement of body weight was conducted just before the administration.…

    Heat Stress: A Case Study

    Introduction Bernabucci et al., 2009 described a reduction in feed intake by finishing lambs as a result of heat stress conditions. Dávila-Ramírez et al., 2014 hypothesized that the use of β-adrenergic agonists as a feeding management strategy to improve carcass characteristics in reduced feed intake lambs. Zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) use in steers resulted in the mobilization of tissue from visceral organs and directed these nutrients to carcass tissues during periods of ZH supplementation (Baxa et al., 2010). The mobilization of non-carcass tissue nutrients results in lower energy requirements for growth and subsequently lower feed intake (Reeds and Mershmann, 1991). However, Macías-Cruz et al., 2010; observed that ZH increases longissimus…

    Using just the hand-drawn calibration graph to work out the concentrations of the diluted samples did not provide a very accurate result, so I also used the analysis toolpak on excel to work out the equation of the trend lines of the graph, using regression analysis. The concentrations of the diluted samples could then be worked out to a much greater degree of accuracy than by just interpolating them from the hand-drawn…

    It is certainly easy to understand the strong feelings behind the use of animals in medical research, which continually fuels the ongoing debate as to whether or not animal testing is an ethical and legitimate science. The need for laboratory animals is clear, given all the discoveries that have developed through this practice. It has led to a better understanding of both behavior and physiology, not to mention the knowledge in preventing or curing a variety of conditions and diseases. Throughout history, the benefits of animal research can be seen by some major scientific advances, particularly in areas consisting of both pharmaceuticals and vaccination interventions.…

    Effect of thymol and carvacrol on nutrient digestibility in rams fed high or low concentrate diets Summary Published data on the effects of essential oils (EO) on in vivo nutrient digestibility in sheep are contradictory. In 2 experiments, the effect of thymol and carvacrol on nutrient digestibility was studied in sheep fed with high (70%) or low (52%) concentrate diets, using incomplete Latin Square designs. The essential oils were mixed with the concentrate portion of the diet at the rate of 0.0, 0.3, or 0.6 g per kg dry matter (DM) diet. Supplementation of thymol had no significant effect on digestibility of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP) and acid detergent fiber (ADF).…

    Animal Rights For Decades the American society as well as many others, have been participants in an ongoing controversy regarding animal rights and animal protection. This particular debate has raised so much havoc in the world today, considering activist for animal rights are very passionate and will not stop on the account of politeness to get a point across. A widely known animal rights group established in 1980, known as Peta are famous for throwing buckets of wet paint on a various victims wearing a fur piece of clothing to prove a point. Being an activist for animal rights opposed to being a non-activist has not only become two different beliefs, but two opposite lifestyles as well.…
