Factors influencing behavior in the forced swim test.
TL;DR: The previously published literature is analyzed for factors which are known to influence animal behavior in the FST, and consideration of these factors in planning experiments may result in more consistent FST results.

TL;DR: Human biological findings, as well as protective effects of medications associated with modifying risk of engaging in suicidal behavior that are readily translatable to animal models, are broadly described.
Hypobaric hypoxia exposure in rats differentially alters antidepressant efficacy of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors fluoxetine, paroxetine, escitalopram and sertraline.
Shami Kanekar,Chandni Sheth,Hendrik J. Ombach,Paul R. Olson,Olena V. Bogdanova,Matt K. Petersen,Chloe E. Renshaw,Young Hoon Sung,Kristen E. D'Anci,Perry F. Renshaw +9 more
TL;DR: A targeted approach may be necessary for successful antidepressant treatment in patients with depression who live at altitude or with chronic hypoxic diseases, and that sertraline may be the SSRI of choice for prescription for this population.

Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and pigment epithelial-derived factor in a rat model of retinopathy of prematurity
John Hartmann,Hilary W. Thompson,Haibo Wang,Shami Kanekar,Wei Huang,Steven J. Budd,M. Elizabeth Hartnett +6 more
TL;DR: Increased expression levels of VEGF and PEDF are associated with older postnatal day age or with exposure to fluctuations in oxygen in the 50/10 oxygen-induced retinopathy model compared to RA.
