Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Adult female Sprague Dawley rats (Weight 259 ± 6.3 g) were obtained from Charles River Laboratories (Charles River Laboratories Inc., Sulzfeld, Germany). The animals were controlled at a 12 h dark-12 h light cycle with access to a standard rodent diet and water ad libitum. In order to limit stress, the same person handled the animals throughout the study and all experimental procedures were performed during the animals’ dark cycle.

Nicotine Addiction Study in Sprague-Dawley Rats

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats (Charles River Labs, Raleigh, NC, USA) were used for the current studies. At the start of the study the rats were 60-70 days old and were naïve to nicotine. They were housed in a vivarium facility next to the testing rooms on a 12:12 hr reverse day night cycle with lights off at 7:00 AM so that they were in their active phase during behavioral testing. All rats had ad lib access to water and were fed rodent chow once daily 30 min after their testing to keep them at approximately 85% of their ad lib body weight. All procedures used in this study were approved by the Duke University Animal Care and Use Committee. Each of the two studies used separate sets of rats. The rats were singly housed after catheter implant surgery to prevent cage mates from gnawing on the rats’ catheters.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
