The levels of AA and DHA chosen were similar to that previously shown in rats to affect neurotransmitter levels and behavior [ 96 ] ; and were not excessively high, being 2-3 fold higher than that recommended for human babies who have a slower Δ6 desaturase activity than rodents.
The power of this approach was first demonstrated in plants [ 1] and later in yeast [ 2], flies [ 3], livestock [ 4, 5], rodents [ 6, 7, 8, 9] and humans [ 10, 11, 12].
In a recent Cell paper, Lahn and his colleagues identify several hundred genes that are involved in nervous system biology and show that, as a group, there are significantly higher rates of protein evolution in these genes in primates than in rodents.
Apoptotic cells were identified by the TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) method and detected either by flow cytometry [ 27 ] or by light microscopy in histological sections [ 28 ] . The results indicate that transgenic ABP alters the rate of testicular germ cell apoptosis throughout life, but it is most likely to cause its germ-cell depleting effect by promoting germ cell apoptosis during the critical pre-pubertal period ("puberty" in laboratory rodents occurs at 50-60 days of life and is defined as the first appearance of spermatozoa in the tail of the epididymis [ 29 30 ] ).
In nocturnal rodents, lesioning the SCN results in more fragmented sleep, with lower EEG delta power, but leaving the daily sleep time unchanged [ 6 7 8 31 ] . Lesioning the SCN in a diurnal primate, the squirrel monkey, did result in an increase in NREMS time, but sleep was more fragmented, with a higher proportion of 'light' NREMS [ 5 ] ; i.e., with lower overall levels of EEG delta power.
