A list of experiments in progress:
'''9/08 - 10/08 Fructose preference curve in Hotel (expt FA)'''
J. Cassell, J. Smith
Replication of Smith's sucrose concentration curve in 24-h, 2 bottle tests (fructose vs. water). Each week rats given 5 x 24-h access to one concentration of fructose and water in Smith's hotel. (Food jar access and number licks per 6-s bins recorded). Concentration of fructose increased each week.
''' 9/08 Kool-aid carbohydrate preferences (expt AA)'''
A. Kimborough, R. Davenport
Figure out prefered carbohydrate using 24-h, 4-bottle tests with 4 kool-aid flavors mixed with either saccharin (0.2%), or 8% fructose, glucose, or maltodextin in 0.05% saccharin. Tested for 4 x 24h periods. On second week, tested for 4x 24h periods with 4 bottles, each containing 1 of 4 kool-aid flavors mixed with just saccharin (0.05%).
''' 9/08 - 10/08 DNA methylation in rat tissues'''
T. Alcala, with help from B.S. Kwon, G. Moffit, and A. Kimborough
6 tissues dissected from adult male rats (tail adrenal gland, kidney, liver, lung, and cerebral cortex). DNA extracted, and patterns of methylation of c-Fos promoter will be analyzed.
'''2/29 -3/1/08 Fill-in of CW/CCW whole-body rotation while in the magnet (expt PW)'''
