This book presents, in two parts, a review concerning the use of
Rattus norvegicus as a model for the study of neurological
disorders and oncological diseases (mammary cancer). In the first
part, the neurological disorders are addressed in important
neurological diseases, such as: Autism, Parkinsons, Huntingtons and
Alzheimers disease, and two neuromotor dysfunctions (amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis and ataxia). The second part reveals the
importance of the rat as a model for the study of mammary cancer,
presenting the diversity of rat strains and models available for
the study of this oncological disease. This part is mainly focused
on the chemically-induced models of mammary cancer and on the
importance of the rat for the development of new prophylactic and
therapeutic strategies to fight this disease.For many years and up
to the present, rat models have allowed the study of innumerable
diseases, as well as their etiology, pathogenesis, evolution and
treatment. Due to this, the role of this species for the evolution
of medicine is undoubtable.Since the information presented in this
book was obtained from years of works of expertise in the field, we
hope that it be useful for those researchers aiming to use Rattus
norvegicus as a model to study human diseases, providing them with
valuable information for the adequate selection and management of
this species in their experiments.
