Mitochondrial DNA Diversity of Mesocricetus auratus and Other Cricetinae Species among Cricetidae Family [PDF]
Biochemical Genetics, 2022 Unique anatomical and physiological features have made hamster species desirable research models. Comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis of the hamster family members to clarify their evolution and genetic relationship, can provide a genetic basis for the comprehension of the variable research results obtained using different hamster models ...

Biogeographic history of the Late Pleistocene and Holocene European small hamsters (subfamily Cricetinae) [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe prevailing paleobiogeographic hypothesis suggests that many steppe and tundra-steppe taxa currently found in Central Asia expanded into Europe during Pleistocene glacial periods, when open habitats dominated. However, previous studies have shown that

Karyotypic and molecular evidence supports the endemic Tibetan hamsters as a separate divergent lineage of Cricetinae [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The genus status of Urocricetus was defined recently based on morphological and molecular data. Even though the amount of evidence for a separate phylogenetic position of this genus among Cricetinae continues to increase, there is still no consensus on ...

The complete mitogenome of Sokolov’s Dwarf Hamster (Cricetulus sokolovi) and implication of phylogenetic status [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 There is still an obvious lack of information on Sokolov's Dwarf Hamster (Cricetulus sokolovi) which belongs to subfamily Cricetinae because the species is only rarely found in Gobi desert.

Role of the route of leukotrienes in an experimental model of oral mucositis induced by 5-fluorouracil [PDF]
Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira, 2017 Purpose: To investigate the participation of cysteinyl leukotrienes in the pathophysiology of oral mucositis. Methods: Oral mucositis was induced in hamsters using 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; 60 and 40 mg/kg; i.p., on days 1 and 2, respectively, and with ...
