DNA fingerprinting patterns (DFPs) obtained by multi-locus probes have been shown to be useful in assessing genetic variation and genetic distances in laboratory animals. Using this method DFP profiles were analysed of mice belonging to lines divergently selected over 56 generations for high (HA) and low (LA) swim stress-induced analgesia. Apart from nociception-related traits the HA mice displayed,...
Angiogenesis and VEGF play a major role in many repair processes such as healing of gastric ulceration.The present study was undertaken to assess the dynamics of changes in VEGF expression and angiogenesis in stress-induced gastric ulcers in rats. Acute gastric ulceration was induced using a water-immersion and restraint stress method. The VEGF expression, angiogenesis, size of area and depth of ulcers...
In this article we have presented genetic predispositions and the influence of numerous factors that occur during cattle fattening, transport and holding in slaughter plants, on their welfare and subsequently on the occurrence of defective meat, known in the literature as DFD (Dark, Firm, Dry) meat. Such meat is unwillingly bought by contemporary consumers because of its consistency and processing...
Psychological factors, such as anxiety, fatigue or stress, may influence the course of pregnancy and lead to spontaneous abortions. Psychological comfort is advised to increase symptoms regression and successful termination of pregnancy. The study aimed to evaluate the intensification and characteristics of anxiety in women with symptoms of imminent abortion and to analyze the relationship between...
Pregnancy-induced hypertension is a life threatening complication of pregnancy, both for a woman and for a child. The study aimed to evaluate models of coping with stress in a group of women with pregnancy hypertension. 30 women with pregnancy-induced hypertension were enrolled in the study. Authors made use of the Cattell Personality Factors test by K. Hirszl that assesses personality profiles and...
In our study we used c-Fos protein (as a marker of cellular activity) to identify whether cells containing parvalbumin (PV) in the piriform cortex (PC) are engaged in the response to stress stimulation and to discover how this expression changes during maturation. The material consisted of Wistar rats of postnatal (P) ages between 0 and 120 days divided into 9 groups: P0, P4, P7, P10, P14, P21, P30,...
