Roles of hypothalamic neuropeptide gene expression in body mass regulation in Eothenomys miletus (Mammalia: Rodentia: Cricetidae) [PDF]
The European Zoological Journal, 2017 To investigate the roles of hypothalamic neuropeptide expression in body mass regulation in Eothenomys miletus, body mass, food intake, serum leptin levels and hypothalamic neuropeptide expression were measured in seasonal-acclimatized and lab-acclimated

Effects of photoperiod on body mass, thermogenesis and body composition in Eothenomys miletus during cold exposure [PDF]
Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2012 Many small mammals respond to seasonal changes in photoperiod by altering body mass and adiposity. These animals may provide valuable models for understanding the regulation of energy balance.
