Mongolian Gerbils as a Model for the Study of Cholesteatoma: Otoendoscopic as a Diagnostic Tool
International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2022 Introduction Cholesteatoma is a disease with significant clinical impact but is incompletely understood. The challenge of performing studies with long-term follow-up in humans is a factor that has restricted the advance of knowledge in this field.

Structure and function of the mammalian middle ear. I: Large middle ears in small desert mammals. [PDF]
, 2015 Many species of small desert mammals are known to have expanded auditory bullae. The ears of gerbils and heteromyids have been well described, but much less is known about the middle ear anatomy of other desert mammals.

NMDA Currents Modulate the Synaptic Input–Output Functions of Neurons in the Dorsal Nucleus of the Lateral Lemniscus in Mongolian Gerbils [PDF]
, 2011 Neurons in the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (DNLL) receive excitatory and inhibitory inputs from the superior olivary complex (SOC) and convey GABAergic inhibition to the contralateral DNLL and the inferior colliculi.

Lumbosacral plexus of the mongolian gerbil(Meriones unguiculatus Milne-Edwards, 1867)
Bioscience Journal, 2016 The Mongolian gerbil, belonging to the Muridae family, is characterized as an economic asset in the pet market due to its easy management. Current research analyzes and describes the origin of the nerves that make up the lumbosacral plexus in the species,

Photoperiodic responsiveness in Mongolian gerbils
Japanese Journal of Animal Psychology, 1998 Photoperiodic response to a short photoperiod (SP, LD 8 : 16) was reported in Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus). The change of testicular and epididymal weight as well as body weight was measured as a function of SP exposure of LD 8 : 16. The present findings demonstrated that Mongolian gerbils could discriminate between a long photoperiod (LP,

Delayed treatment with nimesulide reduces measures of oxidative stress following global ischemic brain injury in gerbils [PDF]
, 2003 Metabolism of arachidonic acid by cyclooxygenase is one of the primary sources of reactive oxygen species in the ischemic brain. Neuronal overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 has recently been shown to contribute to neurodegeneration following ischemic ...

Effects of adaptation to handling on the circadian rhythmicity of blood solutes in Mongolian gerbils
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, 2019 The Mongolian gerbil has been widely used in many research fields and has been reported to be a diurnal laboratory animal. The circadian rhythmicity of these gerbils was investigated in the present study by measuring two hormones that show daily ...
