Animal Welfare-Approved Rat Experiments

All experiments were conducted according to the German Animal Welfare Act and were approved by the State Agency for Nature, Environment and Consumer Protection of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany (LANUV approval IDs: 87-51.04.2010.A274, 84-02.04.2015.A427, 84-02.04.2016.A135, and 81-02.04.2018.A426). Experiments were performed with 71 adult Fischer rats (>3 month). A total of 70 animals were female and had a weight of (184 ± 14) g, one animal was male and weighed 261 g. Rats were housed in groups of two to five animals under a regular light/dark schedule (12/12 h) with food and water ad libitum.

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.
