A Word about the P rat<\/b><\/h2>\n

References to the P rat occur throughout Labratology<\/i>. Here\u2019s a little more information on this unsung hero of science\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThe alcohol-preferring, P, rat was developed by selective breeding to study ethanol drinking behavior and its consequences\u2026the P rat meets all of the criteria put forth for a valid animal model of alcoholism, and displays, relative to their alcohol-non-preferring, NP, counterparts, a number of phenotypic traits associated with alcohol abuse and alcoholism. Behaviorally, compared with NP rats, P rats are less sensitive to the sedative and aversive effects of ethanol and more sensitive to the stimulatory effects of ethanol\u2026paralleling the clinical literature, genetically selected P rats display levels of ethanol intake during adolescence comparable to that seen during adulthood.\u00a0Overall, these findings indicate that the P rat can be effectively used in models assessing alcohol-preference, a genetic predisposition for alcohol abuse and\/or alcoholism, and excessive drinking using protocols of binge-like or relapse-like drinking.<\/span>\u201d [1]<\/p>\n

\"about-us-1\"<\/p>

Our Approach<\/h3>

You could also call this heading \"Our philosophy\" or \"Our vision.\" This is the place to talk about what drives you and your business and what's unique about your process. What you write here should be something distinct and interesting about your business that sets it apart from others in the same industry.<\/p>

Our Story<\/h3>

Every business has a beginning, and this is where you talk about yours. People want to know what opportunity you saw or how your passion led to the creation of something new. Talk about your roots--people wanna know you have some.<\/p>

Meet the Team<\/h3>

Write something about the people who make your business go or your philosophy behind customer service.
Why? Because people want to know who they're doing business with. It's a human thing.<\/p>
