Establishment and Characterization of a Newly Established Diabetic Gerbil Line. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
We aimed to selectively breed a spontaneous diabetic gerbil when a sub-line of inbred gerbil showed increased blood glucose levels was found recently. Then we investigated the characteristics including the serum insulin, triglyceride, cholesterol, leptin,

Gerbil: a fast and memory-efficient k-mer counter with GPU-support [PDF]

open access: yesAlgorithms for Molecular Biology, 2017
Background A basic task in bioinformatics is the counting of k-mers in genome sequences. Existing k-mer counting tools are most often optimized for small k < 32 and suffer from excessive memory resource consumption or degrading performance for large k ...

Great gerbil burrowing-induced microbial diversity shapes the rhizosphere soil microenvironments of Haloxylon ammodendron in temperate deserts

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
In the Gurbantunggut Desert of northwest China, the main habitat of Rhombomys opimus (great gerbil) is under the thickets of Haloxylon ammodendron, the main construction species.

Large-scale electrophysiology and deep learning reveal distorted neural signal dynamics after hearing loss

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Listeners with hearing loss often struggle to understand speech in noise, even with a hearing aid. To better understand the auditory processing deficits that underlie this problem, we made large-scale brain recordings from gerbils, a common animal model ...

Development and evaluation of an inactivated coxsackievirus A16 vaccine in gerbils

open access: yesEmerging Microbes and Infections, 2022
Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) is one of the major pathogens responsible for human hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), which has threatened the health of young children, particularly in Asia-Pacific nations.

Distributed coding of duration in rodent prefrontal cortex during time reproduction

open access: yeseLife, 2021
As we interact with the external world, we judge magnitudes from sensory information. The estimation of magnitudes has been characterized in primates, yet it is largely unexplored in nonprimate species.

Characterization of the endogenous DAF-12 ligand and its use as an anthelmintic agent in Strongyloides stercoralis

open access: yeseLife, 2021
A prevalent feature of Strongyloides stercoralis is a life-long and potentially lethal infection that is due to the nematode parasite’s ability to autoinfect and, thereby, self-replicate within its host.

Pyridoxine Deficiency Exacerbates Neuronal Damage after Ischemia by Increasing Oxidative Stress and Reduces Proliferating Cells and Neuroblasts in the Gerbil Hippocampus

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
We investigated the effects of pyridoxine deficiency on ischemic neuronal death in the hippocampus of gerbil (n = 5 per group). Serum pyridoxal 5′-phosphate levels were significantly decreased in Pyridoxine-deficient diet (PDD)-fed gerbils, while ...

Multiple Sources of Cholinergic Input to the Superior Olivary Complex

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021
The superior olivary complex (SOC) is a major computation center in the brainstem auditory system. Despite previous reports of high expression levels of cholinergic receptors in the SOC, few studies have addressed the functional role of acetylcholine in ...
