cDNA cloning and expression of erythropoietin in the plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [PDF]

Science Bulletin, 2012
All organisms respond to variation in their environments and manage environmental stress through metabolic adjustments. The plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) is an endemic and keystone subterranean rodent species that inhabits the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau between 2800 and 4200 m above sea level.

Characterization and Inhibitor Screening of Plateau Zokor Lactate Dehydrogenase C4

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2016
Lactate dehydrogenase C4 (LDH-C4) is considered to be a target protein for the development of contraceptives. In this work, the characterization of plateau zokor LDH-C4 and the screening of a series of N-substituted oxamic acids as inhibitors against zokor LDH-C4 were reported.

Plateau zokors on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau follow Bergmann's rule latitudinally, but not altitudinally

Mammalian Biology, 2012
Since the first description of the Bergmann's rule, body size dines along environmental gradients have been examined in a wide variety of taxa. Broad support for Bergmann's rule has been found for endotherms and even ectotherms; many species, however, do not follow Bergmann's rule or the converse to Bergmann's rule.

Effect of plateau zokor on soil carbon and nitrogen concentrations of alpine meadows

CATENA, 2021
Abstract Small subterranean mammals cause extensive disturbance of grasslands by producing many mounds in the grasslands. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a small subterranean mammal, plateau zokor (Myospalax fontanierii), on soil carbon and nitrogen concentrations in alpine meadows. In this study, the disturbance effect by plateau zokor on

Predicted structural change in erythropoietin of plateau zokors — Adaptation to high altitude

Gene, 2012
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone, expressed mainly in fetus liver and adult kidneys. EPO plays an important role in enhancing red blood cell formation in bone marrow under hypoxia. Plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi), an subterranean burrowing endemic rodent inhabiting areas of 2 800-4 200 m above sea level on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is a ...

Phenotypic and genomic adaptations to the extremely high elevation in plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi)

Molecular Ecology, 2021
AbstractThe evolutionary outcomes of high elevation adaptation have been extensively described. However, whether widely distributed high elevation endemic animals adopt uniform mechanisms during adaptation to different elevational environments remains unknown, especially with respect to extreme high elevation environments.

Diet selection in overwinter caches of plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi)

Acta Theriologica, 2013
Subterranean herbivores affect the plant community by plant consumption and burrowing activities. However, diet selection of subterranean herbivores has not been studied in detail in complex natural fields, mainly for lack of an accurate method to determine diet species, frequency, and biomass.

[Comparison of the composition and content of pulmonary surfactant among plateau zokors, plateau pikas and rats].

Sheng li xue bao : [Acta physiologica Sinica], 2021
In the present study, the composition and content of pulmonary surfactant (PS) were analyzed to explore the hypoxia adaptation mechanism in plateau zokors (Myospalax baileyi) and plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae). 36 plateau zokors and plateau pikas were trapped alive at the Laji Mountain in Guide County, Qinghai Province (at the altitude of about 3 ...
