Effects of Exogenous Melatonin on Body Mass Regulation and Hormone Concentrations in Eothenomys miletus [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2013
By regulating the pineal hormone, photoperiods affect many physiological characteristics in small mammals. Thus, melatonin might take part in the thermoregulation of seasonal variations in small mammals.

Effect of Cold Temperature and Food Restriction on Energy Metabolism and Thermogenesis in Eothenomys miletus [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2014
The aim of the present study was to examine the energy strategy in response to the cold temperature and food shortage. The survival rate, body mass, body fat content, serum leptin levels, basal metabolic rate (BMR) and nonshivering thermogenesis (NST) as

Effects of random food deprivation on body mass, behavior and serum leptin levels inEothenomys miletus(Mammalia: Rodentia: Cricetidae) [PDF]

Italian Journal of Zoology, 2014
AbstractThe value of phenotypic plasticity in energy metabolism and behavioral patterns in response to variations of food availability was handled in adult male voles (Eothenomys miletus) acclimated to random food deprivation (FD) for 4 weeks. During this period, in which voles were fed ad libitum for a randomly assigned 3 days each week, changes in ...

Resting metabolic rate and energetics of reproduction in lactating Eothenomys miletus from Hengduan mountain region [PDF]

Zoological Studies, 2014
BackgroundIt has been advocated that variation in resting metabolic rate (RMR) may affect the reproductive performance of female animals. In order to investigate the relationships between RMR and reproductive output in lactating Eothenomys miletus, body ...

Analysis of selective pressure and physicochemical properties of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene in Eothenomys miletus

Life Research
Background: A thorough examination of the physicochemical properties, higher-order structure, subcellular localization, and selective pressure of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COX1) protein of the endemic species Eothenomys miletus (E.

Effect of temperature on body temperature and resting metabolic rate in pups of Eothenomys miletus [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2013
In order to investigate the ability of ambient temperature and thermoregulation in Eothenomys miletus, body temperature and resting metabolic rate (RMR) were measured during postnatal development (1-49 day) when E.

A novel hantavirus detected in Yunnan red-backed vole (Eothenomys miletus) in China

Journal of General Virology, 2011
Rodents are the major natural reservoir of hantaviruses, which cause two main human zoonoses, haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Eurasia and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the Americas. Surveillance of hantaviruses in rodents plays an important role in the prevention and control of HFRS and HPS.

Body Size Effect in Eothenomys miletus of Different Regions from Hengduan Mountain Regions: Roles of Growth Factor Contents [PDF]

Indian Journal of Animal Research
Background: Growth factors are active substances secreted by a variety of cells, acting as messengers to regulate cell migration, proliferation or differentiation, which had important regulatory roles in the growth of individual cells, tissues or organs.
