Are there any differences between Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats?

01 May 2014 1 3K Report

Can anyone tell me any differences in term of their behaviour, physical appearance, habit, fur, eyes etc. and may suggest better for antidiabetic research?

Daffodil D Almeida

Wistar rats have wide head, long ears, and having a tail length that is always less than its body length. But Sprague-Dawley rats have increased tail to body length ratio compared with Wistar rats. Wistar rats are more active than others like Sprague Dawley rats. Better you can use wistar rats for your antidiabetic studies.
