Chamber specific expression of Myosin heavy chain 7b in the heart of vertebrates [PDF]
In extant vertebrates, myosin heavy chain (MyHC) 6 and 7 are the main isoforms of atrial and ventricular myocardium respectively, whereas MyHC7b has been proposed to be an ancient cardiac isoform only expressed during embryonic development in modern ...

ABSTRACT Aim Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is the crucial protein for non‐shivering thermogenesis in placental mammals, but the molecular mechanism of thermogenic proton transport is still unknown. Its histidine pair motif (H145 and H147) has been claimed as a critical element for proton translocation, leading to the paradigmatic “cofactor model” of the ...

Illumination and Food Deprivation as Determinants for Hoarding in Golden Hampsters [PDF]
It is important for animals to adapt to changes in food availability in order to survive. Hoarding is one method of accomplishing this and the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) is particularly adept at hoarding.

ABSTRACT The increasing focus on understanding spermatozoa mechanisms in rodents aims to enhance reproductive stability and support conservation efforts, particularly for ecologically significant and declining species like the red‐rumped agouti. We aimed to evaluate the interaction between capacitation media and time, testing BSA concentrations—low (4 ...

Hereditary hydrocephalus internus in a laboratory strain of golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) [PDF]
Golden hamsters of one common laboratory strain had a high incidence of hydrocephalus internus. When a severity score of hydrocephalus was used, a major autosomal recessive locus could be identified.

Photoperiodic influences on ultradian rhythms of male Siberian hamsters. [PDF]
Seasonal changes in mammalian physiology and behavior are proximately controlled by the annual variation in day length. Long summer and short winter day lengths markedly alter the amplitude of endogenous circadian rhythms and may affect ultradian ...

Spontaneous alternation in Mesocricetus auratus: Age differences [PDF]
The spontaneous alternation performances of three groups of hamsters, 20, 50, and 150 days old, were compared. A positive association was found between age and rate of alternation. These findings were interpreted as additional evidence of the relationship between the ability of an animal to acquire and retain information and the rate at which it ...

Abstract This case series describes aural lesions occurring in five African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys ansorgei) residing at a single zoological institution in southern California. Age of onset ranged from 3 to 7 years. Lesions occurred as single or multiple masses on one or both ears. A single case also developed a nasal mass.

In many species, agonistic interactions result in social relationships that are stable over time. In Syrian hamsters, two unfamiliar males that are placed together will fight vigorously and a clear winner/loser relationship is usually established.
