Agouti C57BL/6N embryonic stem cells for mouse genetic resources. [PDF]
, 2009 We report the characterization of a highly germline competent C57BL/6N mouse embryonic stem cell line, JM8. To simplify breeding schemes, the dominant agouti coat color gene was restored in JM8 cells by targeted repair of the C57BL/6 nonagouti mutation ...

Who's behind that mask and cape? The Asian leopard cat's Agouti (ASIP) allele likely affects coat colour phenotype in the Bengal cat breed. [PDF]
, 2014 Coat colours and patterns are highly variable in cats and are determined mainly by several genes with Mendelian inheritance. A 2-bp deletion in agouti signalling protein (ASIP) is associated with melanism in domestic cats. Bengal cats are hybrids between

Nocturnal activity by the primarily diurnal Central American agouti (Dasyprocta punctata) in relation to environmental conditions, resource abundance and predation risk [PDF]
, 2009 An animal's fitness is in part based on its ability to manage the inherent risks (foraging costs, predation, exposure to disease) with the benefits (resource gain, access to mates, social interactions) of activity (Abrams 1991, Altizer et al. 2003, Lima &

Differential Signaling Profiles of MC4R Mutations with Three Different Ligands [PDF]
, 2020 The melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) is a key player in hypothalamic weight regulation and energy expenditure as part of the leptin-melanocortin pathway. Mutations in this G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) are the most common cause for monogenetic obesity,

A central role for C1q/TNF-related protein 13 (CTRP13) in modulating food intake and body weight. [PDF]
, 2013 C1q/TNF-related protein 13 (CTRP13), a hormone secreted by adipose tissue (adipokines), helps regulate glucose metabolism in peripheral tissues. We previously reported that CTRP13 expression is increased in obese and hyperphagic leptin-deficient mice ...

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2008 Determinaram-se os perfis do hemograma e do proteinograma de 24 cutias (Dasyprocta sp.) saudáveis, criadas em cativeiro, e avaliaram-se a influência de sexo e de idade e a interação sexo-idade. O delineamento foi inteiramente ao acaso em arranjo fatorial

Exercise epigenetics and the foetal origins of disease [PDF]
, 2014 Exercise epigenetics is a nascent area of research with vast health implications (e.g., from the treatment of obesity-related diseases to beneficially decoupling epigenetic and chronological age).

Reproductive diseases in captive Agoutis (Dasyprocta leporina)
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021 Reproductive diseases have been well documented in domestic livestock such as sheep, goat, cattle and pigs. However, there is very little information on these diseases in the agouti (Dasyprocta leporina).
