Gestational exposure to excessive levels of dexamethasone impairs maternal care and impacts on the offspring's survival in rats

Elisa C. Cella et al.

Summary: Administration of dexamethasone (DEX) during late gestation can lead to behavioral changes in dams, impacting offspring survival. Adequate maternal care is crucial for pup's survival, and cross-fostering can improve the survival index of DEX offspring.

Maternal vitamin D administration attenuates metabolic disturbances induced by prenatal exposure to dexamethasone in a sex-dependent manner

Flaviano Lorenzon et al.

Summary: Exposure to dexamethasone during pregnancy can disrupt glucose homeostasis in offspring, with older male offspring being more susceptible. Maternal vitamin D administration does not impact glucose tolerance, but can mitigate insulin resistance and liver lipid accumulation in male offspring.

The forced swim test: Historical, conceptual and methodological considerations and its relationship with individual behavioral traits

Antonio Armario

Summary: The forced swim test is a commonly used method for evaluating antidepressant treatments and depression-like states in rodents, but its theoretical and predictive validity have been questioned. The test mainly assesses coping strategies in an inescapable situation, and proper interpretation of the behavior depends on its relationship with other behavioral traits.
