Open AccessMaternal High-Fat Diet Induces Long-Lasting Defects in Bone Structure in Rat Offspring Through Enhanced Osteoclastogenesis
Maternal stressors during the prenatal and perinatal periods are associated with increased susceptibility for and severity of chronic disease phenotypes in adult offspring. In this study, we used a rat model o...

Neuroprotective role of Sirt1 in mammalian models of Huntington's disease through activation of multiple Sirt1 targets
Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disease caused by the accumulation of mutant htt protein. Now, two groups led by Dimitri Krainc and Wenzhen Duan report that mutant htt binds and inactivates the dea...

A measure of glucocorticoid load provided by DNA methylation of Fkbp5 in mice
Given the contribution of cortisol dysregulation to neuropsychiatric and metabolic disorders, it is important to be able to accurately compute glucocorticoid burden, a measure of allostatic load. One major pro...

Developmental, Behavioral, and Physiological Phenotype of Cloned Mice
Cloning from adult somatic cells has been successful in at least ten species. Although generating viable cloned mammals from adult cells is technically feasible, prenatal and perinatal mortality is high and li...

The impact of moderate daily alcohol consumption on aggression and the formation of dominance hierarchies in rats
Group-housed male rats form social hierarchies, and under these conditions, it has been reported that subordinate (SUB) rats consume more alcohol than dominant (DOM) rats. We tested the hypothesis that a histo...

Cloned mice have an obese phenotype not transmitted to their offspring
Mammalian cloning using somatic cells has been accomplished successfully in several species, and its potential basic, clinical and therapeutic applications are being pursued on many fronts. Determining the lon...

Cloning of mice to six generations
Mice have been cloned by nuclear transfer into enucleated oocytes1,2,3, and here we describe the reiterative cloning of mice to four and six generations in two independent lines. Successive generations showed no ...

Bypassing Spermiogenesis for Several Generations Does Not Have Detrimental Consequences on the Fertility and Neurobehavior of Offspring: A Study Using the Mouse
Purpose: This study was conducted to determine whether the omission of spermiogenesis and all prefertilization events for five generations in mice affects the fertility or behavio...
