NaCl preference in the gerbil [PDF]

Physiological Psychology, 1973
Gerbil preference levels for salt solutions were determined by using the single-stimulus method. The concentration resulting in the largest acceptance was 0.9%, even though gerbils can utilize salt solutions as high as 6%. Since the single-stimulus method correlates well with other preference measures, these results should generalize to other testing ...

The highly selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor DFU is neuroprotective when given several hours after transient cerebral ischemia in gerbils [PDF]

Brain Research 927(2): 212-215 (2002), 2007
Several studies suggest that cyclooxygenase-2 contributes to the delayed progression of ischemic brain damage. In this study we examined whether the highly selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor DFU reduces neuronal damage when administered several hours after 5 min of transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils.

Differential expression of genes identified by suppression subtractive hybridization in liver and adipose tissue of gerbils with diabetes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
We aimed at identifying genes related to hereditary type 2 diabetes expressed in the liver and the adipose tissue of spontaneous diabetic gerbils using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) screening.Two gerbil littermates, one with high and the ...

Enhancement of de novo sequencing, assembly and annotation of the Mongolian gerbil genome with transcriptome sequencing and assembly from several different tissues

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background The Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) has historically been used as a model organism for the auditory and visual systems, stroke/ischemia, epilepsy and aging related research since 1935 when laboratory gerbils were separated from their ...

Realistic 3D computer model of the gerbil middle ear, featuring accurate morphology of bone and soft tissue structures [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
In order to improve realism in middle ear (ME) finite element modeling (FEM), comprehensive and precise morphological data are needed. To date, micro-scale X-ray computed tomography (\mu CT) recordings have been used as geometric input data for FEM models of the ME ossicles.

Variation of the auditory system in the Indian Gerbil, Tatera indica Hardwicke, 1807, (Muridae, Rodentia) from the east of Iran

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2019
The Indian Gerbil (Tatera indica) is one of the most successful species in the east of Iran regarding the population size and distributional range. Many factors are effective in the success of this species, but the tympanic bulla and external ear with a ...

Time course of oxidative damage in different brain regions following transient cerebral ischemia in gerbils [PDF]

Neuroscience Research 41(3): 233-241 (2001), 2007
The time course of oxidative damage in different brain regions was investigated in the gerbil model of transient cerebral ischemia. Animals were subjected to both common carotid arteries occlusion for 5 min. After the end of ischemia and at different reperfusion times (2, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 h and 7 days), markers of lipid peroxidation, reduced and ...

End-to-End Neural Entity Linking [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Entity Linking (EL) is an essential task for semantic text understanding and information extraction. Popular methods separately address the Mention Detection (MD) and Entity Disambiguation (ED) stages of EL, without leveraging their mutual dependency. We here propose the first neural end-to-end EL system that jointly discovers and links entities in a ...

The Prevalence of Helicobacter spp. in Licensed Experimental Animal Facilities in Aegean Region, Turkey.

Laboratuvar Hayvanları Bilimi ve Uygulamaları Dergisi
Colon and stool samples were collected from a total of 200 animals, 10 mice, 10 rats and 10 gerbils, from separate cages randomly selected between the ages of 15-22 weeks from each of the 11 licensed experimental animal facilities.From the DNA obtained ...
