CUTANEOUS HEMANGIOMA IN A GIANT PANDA (AILUROPODA MELANOLEUCA) [PDF]

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2006
An adult male giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) was presented with a cutaneous mass ventral to the eye. The animal was anesthetized and the mass was surgically excised. Histopathologic examination determined that the mass was a benign cavernous hemangioma, the first reported case in a giant panda.

Spatial memory recall in the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca).

Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2009
The current study tested spatial memory recall in 1 male and 1 female giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca). The task required subjects to make a delayed response to a previously lighted location, with varying lengths of delay between the observation phase and the test phase. The male subject reached criterion at 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, and 10-s delays. The

The faecal flora of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

Journal of Applied Bacteriology, 1989
The faecal floras of two adult (male and female) and one infant (male) giant panda kept at the Ueno Zoo, Tokyo, Japan were examined and shown to be quite different from those of other animals. The predominant bacteria in the adults were Streptococcus (including Enterococcus) and Enterobacteriaceae, while obligate anaerobes had minor populations ...

The vocal repertoire of infant giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

Bioacoustics, 2013
Infant giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) are highly vocal during the first fewweeks of their life. Despite this, no previous studies have attempted to systematically categorize infant giant panda vocalizations into different call types. In this study, we used acoustic and video analyses to split infant giant panda vocalizations into three distinct ...

Pharmacology of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) melanocortin-3 receptor

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2019
The melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R) is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily that plays a critical role in controlling energy balance and metabolism. Although pharmacological characterization of MC3R has been reported previously in several other species, there is no report on the MC3R from giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca).

cDNA cloning and expression of ghrelin in giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

Molecular Biology Reports, 2009
Ghrelin is an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor. It plays an important role in stimulating growth hormone secretion, food intake, body weight gain and gastric motility. cDNA sequences coding for ghrelin precursor protein (prepro-ghrelin) were isolated from the stomach of a giant panda.

Cranial shape transformation in the evolution of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

Naturwissenschaften, 2010
In this study, landmark-based methods of geometric morphometrics are used for investigating the main aspects of cranial shape transformation in the evolution of the giant panda, Ailuropoda melanoleuca. Specifically, we explore if the highly derived cranial adaptations for bamboo feeding of the living panda were developed early in the panda's lineage ...

The sacculus epipharyngeus in the Giant panda, Ailuropoda melanoleuca

Journal of Zoology, 1974
The bursa epipharyngea of the Giant panda,Ailuropoda melanoleuca,is a saccular diverticulum (sacculus epipharyngeus) situated between pharynx roof and basis cranii. In the Ursidae the bursa comprises a pair of unequal‐sized diverticula having separate ostial communication with the epipharynx.

Identification of novel anelloviruses in the blood of giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2023
In recent years, the continuous development of metagenomics has revealed that in addition to the digestive tract, some viruses are also common in mammalian blood. To explore and monitor potential novel viruses, in April 2015, a blood sample was collected from a healthy captive giant panda at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan ...
