Eotaxin: a potent eosinophil chemoattractant cytokine detected in a guinea pig model of allergic airways inflammation. [PDF]
Eosinophil accumulation is a prominent feature of allergic inflammatory reactions, such as those occurring in the lung of the allergic asthmatic, but the endogenous chemoattractants involved have not been identified.

Functional evolution of the feeding system in rodents [PDF]
The masticatory musculature of rodents has evolved to enable both gnawing at the incisors and chewing at the molars. In particular, the masseter muscle is highly specialised, having extended anteriorly to originate from the rostrum.

Macrophage TNF-α mediates parathion-induced airway hyperreactivity in guinea pigs. [PDF]
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are implicated in human asthma. We previously demonstrated that, at concentrations that do not inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity, the OP parathion causes airway hyperreactivity in guinea pigs as a result of ...

Stapedectomy in the guinea pig
Stapedectomy has traditionally been studied in the feline model. Ethical considerations and costs have made this model less feasible for ongoing research. The purpose of this study was to examine the guinea pig as a model for research on stapedectomy. Technical difficulties included limited exposure and small dimensions of the ossicles.
