  1. 1. Acclimatisation of rats before scientific experiments

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Viktoria Brånsgård; [2023]
    Keywords : acclimatisation; acclimatisation period; rat; transportation; stress; corticosterone;

    Abstract : The most common laboratory animals in Sweden today are mice, rats, and zebrafish. We sent out an anonymous digital survey to investigate if scientific facilities in Sweden acclimatise their rats after transportation, how long the acclimatisation time is, and how the acclimatisation is conducted.

  3. 2. Acklimatisering av möss inför försök

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Frida Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : acklimatisering; acklimatiseringstid; kortikosteron; möss; Transport; stress;

    Abstract : Det vanligaste försöksdjuret i Sverige idag är musen. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur acklimatiseringsplanen utformas och genomförs i praktiken på anläggningar i Sverige där möss hålls i försökssyfte, hur acklimatiseringsplanen påverkas beroende på försökets syfte och slutligen vilka aspekter som tas i beaktande vid val av leverantör.

  4. 3. A porcine type 1 Diabetes Mellitus model, for non-invasive in vivo imaging of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor in the pancreas, using [68Ga]Ga-DO3A-VS-Cys40-conjugated synthetic exendin-4 in PET-CT

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Susanne Andréasson; [2014]
    Keywords : Exendin-4; GLP-1R; pig; beta cell imaging; beta cell mass; Exendin-4; gris; betacellsmassan; PET-CT;

    Abstract : Diabetes mellitus is a rising epidemic throughout the world and there is currently great interest in quantifying the beta-cell mass (BCM) in vivo non-invasively. In the present experiment, the feasibility of in vivo imaging of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) in beta-cells was examined, using the positron emission tomography (PET) tracer [68Ga]Ga-DO3A-VS-Cys40-exendin-4 as a marker, in native pancreatic beta-cells of a porcine diabetic animal model and healthy controls.

  5. 4. Betydelsen av hästens hud och päls för reglering av kroppstemperatur i kyla – vad händer vid klippning och täckning?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Li Ekblom; [2013]
    Keywords : häst; hud; kallt klimat; temperaturreglering; horse; skin; cold climate; temperature adjustment;

    Abstract : The horse is a homeothermic animal and to keep a constant body temperature in winter season is important. Acclimatisation is to provide means for a good thermal insulation consisting of skin, hair, and an outer air layer. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effects of the captive environment and enrichment on the daily activity of European Bison (Bison bonasus)

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Erika Godoy; [2009]
    Keywords : Activity budget; barren enclosure; captivity; feeding enrichment; naturalistic enclosure; reintroduction; social structure; ex situ conservation;

    Abstract : When breeding wild species in captivity, the animals may gradually become more adapted to captivity and therefore less suited for reintroduction which is the ultimate goal for some species. This study measured the activity budget of European bison (Bison bonasus) in six enclosures in Sweden with the aim to find out how the characteristics of the enclosures – with and without pasture - influenced the activity budget.
