Characterization of diabetes in the Chinese hamster [PDF]
Diabetes in Chinese hamster was initially detected by qualitative tests for urine glucose. The disease was characterized by quantitating urine glucose, glucose tolerance tests and measurement of fasting and nonfasting blood sugar, blood ketones, plasma free fatty acids (FFA), plasma insulin, pancreatic insulin and fasting levels of liver glycogen.

Epidemiological studies of the Chinese Hamster [PDF]
Records of 5832 animals from The Upjohn Company Chinese Hamster colony, for the period December 1966 to September 1969, have been collected and stored on a magnetic tape file. These data have been analyzed for onset of diabetes and longevity. — The time at which 50% of the animals became diabetic (OT50) was 8.3 months during 1966; 4.3 months during ...

The inheritance of diabetes in the Chinese hamster [PDF]
1. The pedigrees and Tes-tape scores of over 6000 hamsters in the Best colony in Toronto and the Upjohn Colony in Kalamazoo were examined. It was found that the distribution of Tes-tape scores in the Best colony was 23%+, 6%++, 3%+++, and 5%++++. The incidence of diabetes rose for the first eleven generations of inbreeding then fell off slightly.

Peripheral neurology of the diabetic Chinese hamster [PDF]
Genetically diabetic Chinese hamsters were examined anatomically and physiologically for evidence of peripheral neuropathy. Control animals were from non-diabetic strains. Conduction velocities in both motor and sensory components of the hind limb nerves were reduced 16-22% in diabetic compared with control hamsters.

Cholesterol metabolism in the diabetic Chinese hamster [PDF]
Cholesterol turnover, pool size, tissue exchange, and tissue content have been examined in normocholesterolemic and hypercholesterolemic diabetic hamsters and matched nondiabetic controls following injection with radiolabelled cholesterol. In the hypercholesterolemic diabetics, turnover time of plasma cholesterol in both rapid and slow exchanging ...

FERTILIZATION OF CHINESE HAMSTER EGGS IN VITRO [PDF]
Fertilization of eggs in vitro has been described in three mammalian species\p=m-\ the rabbit (Dauzier, Thibault & Wintenberger, 1954; Chang, 1959; Suzuki & Mastroianni, 1965; Brackett & Williams, 1965), Syrian hamster (Yanagimachi & Chang, 1964; Barros & Austin, 1967) and laboratory mouse (Whittingham, 1968).

Internalization of Ricin in Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells [PDF]
Internalization of ricin into Chinese hamster ovary cells has been investigated. Combined treatment with galactose and pronase at 0 degrees C resulted in a complete release of surface-bound [125I]ricin into the media. Galactose-pronase-resistant cell-bound [125I]ricin represents internalized ricin molecules inside the cells. The internalization process

Thrombin Receptor Polymorphism in Chinese Hamster
We report the existence of a new Chinese hamster thrombin receptor allele, characterized by an in-frame insertion of three nucleotides at position 250 of the published sequence. As a consequence, an additional proline is inserted into a proline-rich region of the extracellular amino-terminal domain of the receptor.

The Chinese or Striped-Back Hamster
Chinese hamsters are small rodents with a grayish black coat and a black dorsal stripe. Adult animals weigh approximately 39–46 gm, and measure approximately 9 cm in length. This species has been shown to be susceptible to a number of experimentally induced viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections. In recent years, the Chinese hamster's contributions
