Heat Training in the Mongolian Gerbil
Psychological Reports, 1973Heat avoidance was an effective technique in producing a discriminative response in Mongolian gerbils. Rapid relearning occurred after a series of extinction trials. The animals were able to master a successive-cue reversal task, with heat used as a negative reinforcer.

Cisplatin ototoxicity in developing gerbils
Hearing Research, 1999This experimental study was undertaken to investigate the dose-related effect of cisplatin exposure in young gerbils (2 weeks of age) and explore the relationship between different methods used to monitor auditory function after exposure to cisplatin. Four groups of animals, including a control group, were used. The treatment groups, D1 (n = 6), D2 (n =

Taste aversion to sugars by the gerbil
Physiology & Behavior, 1982Some conditioned taste aversion experiments were undertaken to determine how the gerbil responds to disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols. We observed the following: animals taught an aversion to 0.1 M sucrose generalized the avoidance to most sugars, the exception being galactitol; animals taught to avoid 0.01 M hydrochloric acid generalized the ...

Locomotor activity in the ischemic gerbil
Brain Research, 1993Previous studies have shown that within 24 h after ischemic insult, gerbils exhibit an increase in locomotor activity. Because activity gradually diminishes to normal levels with repeated testing, it has been argued that this behavior represents a reversible or transient effect of ischemia.

Autoradiography of 14C-DOPA in gerbils
European Journal of Pharmacology, 1969Abstract After injection of 14C-labelled DOPA following pretreatment with a peripheral L-DOPA decarboxylase inhibitor, Ro-4-4602 in mongolian gerbils, retention of radioactivity occurs in dopaminergic brain areas, the pancreas, epididymus and hair follicles. Labelling of the dopaminergic brain structures is maximal 1 hr after injection of DOPA.

Cholesterol metabolism in gnotobiotic gerbils
Lipids, 1982AbstractGermfree gerbils were associated with a murine‐derived hexaflora which produced only minor changes in the primary bile acid pattern of rats. These hexaflora‐associated gerbils had relatively small ceca (4% of body weight) and reproduced well. Although serum cholesterol levels of both conventional and hexaflora‐associated gerbils increased in ...

The effects of selenium on Mongolian gerbils
Environmental Research, 1979Abstract The effects of sodium selenite on male, Mongolian gerbils were evaluated for 30 weeks. Supplements of 0.00, 2.50, or 5.00 ppm were supplied through the drinking water. This addition resulted in decreased water consumptions by all the experimental groups.

Ultrastructure of the urethra of the Mongolian gerbil
World Journal of Urology, 2003The urethra is the main port of entry of sexually transmitted pathogens. However, papers on the morphology of the urethra are scarce. The Mongolian gerbil is a rodent native of the Mongolia and China and has been utilized as a laboratory animal since the 1960s.

Adjunctive behavior in the Mongolian gerbil
Physiology & Behavior, 1978Abstract In Experiment 1, only one of five food-deprived gerbils displayed schedule-induced polydipsia when 45 mg food pellets were delivered according to a fixed-time 60-sec food schedule. However, in Experiment 2, three of four gerbils developed schedule-induced wheel running on the fixed-time 60-sec food schedule.

The 'hairless' gerbil: a new mutant
Laboratory Animals, 1980Although the animal looks bald, the smooth, warm skin is covered by fine stubble. The vibrissae also appear broken off short. The nails appear normal and the ventral scent gland and nipples are well developed. This female is fertile and has had several litters, but none of her offspring show the mutation.
