Sterility in male hypogonadic (hgn/hgn) rats results from congenital testicular dysplasia caused by a single recessive gene hgn on rat chromosome 10. We recently identified an insertion mutation in the Spag5/astrin gene of hgn/hgn rats that may ca...
Congenital hypoplasia and dysplasia affect the postnatal development of organs, their physiological functioning in adulthood and the incidence of related diseases at an advanced age. Hypogonadic (hgn/hgn) rats are characterized by male sterility, ...

A power spectrum density (PSD) analysis was performed on electroencephalograms (EEG) of sleeping epileptic El mice and non-epileptic ddY mice. A respiratory peak at 3.13 Hz was detected in the EEGs of both categories. The PSD analysis revealed a p...
A short period of exposure of pregnant mice to a strong static magnetic field of 400 mT - 8000 times that of the earth - in a dorso-ventral direction had teratogenic effects on developing fetuses. Fetuses were exposed to the static magnetic field ...
