Experimental Combat-Stress Model in Rats: Histological Examination of Effects on Amelogenesis— A Possible Measure of Diminished Vagal Tone Episodes

Developmental defects of enamel-stress histomarker rings (accentuated striae) may be a potential measure of diminished vagal tone in research on extreme stress such as exposure to combat. To develop an animal model of this measure, we examined the enamel of rat incisors which erupt continuously. We...
