Fecal corticosteroids in agouti and non-agouti deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A, Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2002
Total and per gram fecal corticosteroid concentrations were determined for agouti and non-agouti deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus gracilis) over 24 h under normal caging conditions and after exposure to the stress of novel caging. Per gram corticosteroid concentrations, fecal output, and 24-h corticosteroid production were greater in stressed compared

Thyroxine levels in agouti and non-agouti deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A, Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2001
Total thyroxine was assessed by radioimmunoassay for 58 female deer mice of two subspecies (Peromyscus maniculatus bairdii and P. m. gracilis) and two color morphs (agouti and non-agouti). P. m. bairdii of both color-morphs had significantly higher mean thyroxine levels than P. m. gracilis.

Inverse agonist activity of agouti and agouti-related protein

Peptides, 2003
Agouti and agouti-related protein (AgRP) are endogenous antagonists of the melanocortin receptors (MCxR). Previous data showed that recombinant full-length agouti and a synthetic fragment of AgRP, AgRP (83-132), are inverse agonists at the MC1R and MC4R, respectively.

Variations in the Coding Region of the Agouti Signaling Protein Gene Do Not Explain Agouti/Non-agouti Phenotypes in Macaques

Journal of Mammalian Evolution, 2010
Agouti is a common pigmentation phenotype in mammals including primates. Mutations in the agouti signaling protein gene (ASIP) are known to result in non-agouti black hairs in laboratory mice. It is still unclear whether sequence variation in ASIP is linked with the agouti/non-agouti phenotypes in macaques (Genus Macaca). To address this issue, we have

Body and organ mass in agouti and non-agouti deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A, Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2001
Body, adrenal, brain, heart, liver, kidney, spleen and testis masses were determined for agouti and non-agouti deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus gracilis) of both sexes. Body mass was highest for non-agouti females and lowest for agouti females; and sex differences in body mass were significant for agouti, but not non-agouti, deer mice.

Structures of the Agouti Signaling Protein

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2005
Expression of the agouti signaling protein (ASIP) during hair growth produces the red/yellow pigment pheomelanin. ASIP, and its neuropeptide homolog the agouti-related protein (AgRP) involved in energy balance, are novel, paracrine signaling molecules that act as inverse agonists at distinct subsets of melanocortin receptors. Ubiquitous ASIP expression

Placentation in the Capybara (Hydrochaerus hydrochaeris), Agouti (Dasyprocta aguti) and Paca (Agouti paca)

Placenta, 2002
Placentae of three hystricimorph rodents--capybara, agouti and paca--were examined by conventional histology, immunohistochemistry for cytokeratin and vimentin, and TUNEL staining. The placentae were divided into lobules of labyrinthine syncytium separated by interlobular and marginal trophoblast.
