Male members of mixed-sex colonies of hooded rats were exposed to three types of same-age conspecific intruders: intact male (M), castrated male (C), and ovariectomized female (OVX). During the first 20 min after intruder introduction, colony males sniffed the anogenital region of C or OVX intruders more frequently and for longer durations than they sniffed that of M intruders. Twenty-one hours later, fewer C and OVX intruders had suffered wounds than M counterparts, and their wound scores were lower. OVX intruders were not rendered more susceptible to attack by painting their anogenital region with fresh M urine. These findings have implications for Adams' model of intermale fighting, and they indicate that onset of attack by male hooded rats is promoted by testosterone-related anogenital substance(s).

“…SJL mice also carry the mutations of Disc1, Pde6b rd1 , and Tcrb-V [133,194,200]. The exceptionally aggressive behavior of SJL mice renders them a widely used strain to study aggression in the mouse [214,215].…”

The laboratory mouse is the most commonly used mammalian model for biomedical research. An enormous number of mouse models, such as gene knockout, knockin, and overexpression transgenic mice, have been created over the years. A common practice to maintain a genetically modified mouse line is backcrossing with standard inbred mice over several generations. However, the choice of inbred mouse for backcrossing is critical to phenotypic characterization because phenotypic variabilities are often observed between mice with different genetic backgrounds. In this review, the major features of commonly used inbred mouse lines are discussed. The aim is to provide information for appropriate selection of inbred mouse lines for genetic and behavioral studies.
