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.

Is the study subject in ‘Microclimate response of soil to plateau pika's disturbance in the northeast Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau’ actually plateau zokor?

European Journal of Soil Science, 2021
While reading the paper ‘Microclimate response of soil to plateau pika's disturbance in the northeast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau’ (Ma et al., 2018), after careful observation of the figures, I found the authors of this paper appear to have mistaken their ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Effects of population density on spatial genetic structure in a subterranean rodent, the Plateau Zokor (Eospalax baileyi)

Journal of Mammalogy
Sex and population density, among other factors, affect individual dispersal distances, therefore affecting the spatial genetic structure (SGS) of the species.

Novel microsatellite markers obtained from Gansu zokor (Eospalax cansus) and cross-species amplification in Plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi)

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 2014
Abstract Zokor (Mysopalacinae) is a group of subterranean rodents. Although they are regarded as important components in the ecosystems they belong to, due to their underground lifestyle, very little is known about their ecology and behavior. Development of microsatellite markers can potentially assist in addressing behavioral and ecological ...

Examining object recognition and object-in-Place memory in plateau zokors, Eospalax baileyi

Behavioural Processes, 2018
Recognition memory is important for the survival and fitness of subterranean rodents due to the barren underground conditions that require avoiding the burden of higher energy costs or possible conflict with conspecifics. Our study aims to examine the object and object/place recognition memories in plateau zokors (Eospalax baileyi) and test whether ...

Spermatocytes are the terminals of germ cell differentiation in plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi) during the non-breeding season.

Integrative Zoology
Plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi) is a subterranean rodent and seasonal breeder. During the non-breeding season, the testicles regress, leading to the arrest of spermatogenesis and loss of fertility.
