, 2012 The gerbil is usually nonaggressive and is one of the easiest rodents to maintain and handle. Its disposition, curious nature, relative freedom from naturally occurring infectious diseases, and adaptability to its environment have contributed to its popularity as a laboratory animal. Gerbils are found in deserts and semiarid geographical regions of the

Waves on Reissner's membrane: a mechanism for the propagation of otoacoustic emissions from the cochlea [PDF]
Cell Reports 1, 374-384 (2012), 2012 Sound is detected and converted into electrical signals within the ear. The cochlea not only acts as a passive detector of sound, however, but can also produce tones itself. These otoacoustic emissions are a striking manifestation of the cochlea's mechanical active process.

The Journal of Physiology, 2008 Mammals have developed a unique sense of hearing with astonishing sensitivity and the largest frequency range among vertebrates. Frequency representation in mammals is achieved by mechanical tuning of the cochlea, caused mainly by geometrical and stiffness gradients of the basilar membrane changing from the cochlear base (where high frequencies are ...

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

Cholesterol Metabolism in the Gerbil
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1962 SummaryThe metabolism of C14-cholesterol has been studied in the gerbil. At the end of 14 days, 60% of the radioactivity, originally administered as cholesterol, was excreted. Of this, 90% appeared in feces and 10% in urine. The radioactivity in feces was found predominantly in the bile acid fraction.

Membrane properties specialize mammalian inner hair cells for frequency or intensity encoding
eLife, 2015 The auditory pathway faithfully encodes and relays auditory information to the brain with remarkable speed and precision. The inner hair cells (IHCs) are the primary sensory receptors adapted for rapid auditory signaling, but they are not thought to be ...

Revisiting the Mongolian Gerbil Model for Hepatitis E Virus by Reverse Genetics
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of acute viral hepatitis in humans. A convenient small mammalian model for basic research and antiviral testing is still greatly needed.
