Radioresistance of Mongolian Gerbils

International Journal of Radiation Biology and Related Studies in Physics, Chemistry and Medicine, 1977
Seventy-six 8 week old Mongolian gerbils were exposed to acute, whole-body fast neutrons produced by The University of Michigan 83-in. cyclotron. Groups of seven or eigth gerbils were given doses between 485 and 881 rad at 25 rad per minute. The LD 50/30 determined by probit analysis was 750 rad, with 95 per cent fiducial limits of 733 and 776. For the

Delayed Nidation in Lactating Mongolian Gerbils

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1972
SUMMARY Sixty pairs of Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) were allotted to 6 groups to determine the effect of weaning on implantation of blastocysts. Blastocysts, most still in the zona pellucida, were recovered from 10 of 10 and 8 of 10 nursing female gerbils necropsied at postpartum days 10 and 20, respectively. The remaining 2 female gerbils

Heat Training in the Mongolian Gerbil

Psychological Reports, 1973
Heat 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.

X‐irradiation of pregnant mongolian gerbils

The Anatomical Record, 1970
AbstractFemale Mongolian gerbils were x‐irradiated at various doses from 200r to 1200r on day 2 (fertilized eggs at 2‐cell stage) or day 9 (embryos at the early primitive streak stage) after mating and examined on day 18. No significant differences in numbers of corpora lutea were observed between controls and females irradiated at 200–800r on day 2 or

Chloroform Hepatotoxicity in the Mongolian Gerbil

Toxicological Sciences, 1987
CHCl3 hepatotoxicity was studied in the male Mongolian gerbil and compared to that in the male Sprague-Dawley strain rat. Based on elevations in serum transaminase activities in response to CHCl3 exposure, control gerbils were more sensitive to CHCl3 than were gerbils treated with phenobarbital, chlordecone, mirex, or 3-methylcholanthrene.

The Mongolian gerbil in aging research

Experimental Aging Research, 1980
The authors have explored the suitability of the Mongolian gerbil as a model in aging research and reviewed data on major factors in gerbil morbidity and mortality. The gerbil is a semi-desert rodent, introduced relatively recently into biomedical research.

Adjunctive behavior in the Mongolian gerbil

Physiology & Behavior, 1978
Abstract 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 Mongolian gerbil in experimental epilepsy

The Italian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 1995
The Mongolian gerbil is recognized as a suitable experimental model for studying epileptiform seizures. About 10-20% of the gerbils provided by animal breeders show convulsions when placed in a new laboratory environment or handled for drug administration.

An Immunocompetent Mongolian Gerbil Model for Hepatitis E Virus Genotype 1 Infection.

Gastroenterology
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hepatitis E virus (HEV), primarily genotype 1 (HEV-1), causes approximately 20.1 million infections, 44000 deaths, and 3000 stillbirths annually. Current evidence indicates that HEV-1 is only transmitted in humans.

Gray mutant in the Mongolian gerbil

Journal of Heredity, 1985
A new autosomal recessive mutant, gray (symbol g), is reported for the Mongolian gerbil. The pelage of mutant animals is devoid of phaeomelanin pigment while the eumelanin is scarcely affected. The normal sandy-gray agouti wild type becomes a light gray.
