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,

Cryopreservation of Mongolian Gerbil Spermatozoa.

Journal of Mammalian Ova Research, 2000
Recently the importance of cryopreservation to preserve the genes of extremely rare or endangered species has been increasing. Many spermatozoa can be obtained from one male. And strains can be established by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer after thawing. Cryopreservation of spermatozoa is conducted in domestic animals and laboratory animals,

Long-Term Use of Probiotic-Containing Yogurts Is a Safe Way to Prevent Helicobacter pylori: Based on a Mongolian Gerbil's Model

Biochemistry Research International, 2013
Background. The suppression of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) decreases H. pylori-related diseases. The probiotics have an inhibitory effect on H. pylori. Aim. We investigated the effects of long-term use of yogurt on H.

Histological analysis of scent glands in banded mongooses, with implications for chemical communication

Journal of Zoology, Volume 328, Issue 1, Page 76-90, January 2026.
We investigated the distribution and structure of scent glands in the banded mongoose (Mungos mungo), a cooperatively breeding, group‐living mammal. Histological analyses revealed relatively large anal glands and a previously undescribed cheek gland, but no specialised scent glands in the chin or abdomen.

Genetic Diversity and Relatedness of Group-Living Small Mammals on the Mongolian Plateau

Diversity, 2022
Genetic diversity plays an important role in the evolution and adaptation of organisms. Losses of genetic diversity make organisms more vulnerable to climate changes and diseases, reducing the viability of small populations.

Performance of Elecsys Anti‐HEV IgG and IgM Assays for the Detection of Acute, Recent or Past Hepatitis E Virus Infection

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the leading cause of acute viral hepatitis. We evaluated the performance of the new automated Elecsys Anti‐HEV IgG and Elecsys Anti‐HEV IgM assays (Roche Diagnostics) in detecting acute, recent and past HEV infection. Methods Performance of the Elecsys assays relative to three commercially available

Cutting‐Edge Advancements in Physical Stimulation for Spiral Ganglion Neuron Protection and Regeneration

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 5, Issue 12, December 2025.
Physical stimulation strategies have emerged as a therapeutic avenue for the regeneration of spiral ganglion neurons. This review explores diverse physical stimulation modalities—including topographical modulation, electrical stimulation, and photostimulation—each operating through distinct mechanisms to regulate SGN biological behavior. By elucidating
