Characterizations of Hamster Retina as a Model for Studies of Retinal Cholesterol Homeostasis
Biology, 2021 Cholesterol homeostasis in the retina, a sensory organ in the back of the eye, has been studied in mice but not hamsters, despite the latter being more similar to humans than mice with respect to their whole-body cholesterol maintenance. The goal of this

Effect of deuterium on the circadian period and metabolism in wild-type and tau mutant Syrian hamsters [PDF]
, 2000 Homozygous tau mutant Syrian hamsters (tau-/-) have a free-running circadian period (τ) around 20 h and a proportionally higher metabolic rate compared with wild-type hamsters (tau+/+) with a period of circa 24 h.

Choclo Virus Infection in the Syrian Golden Hamster [PDF]
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2008 Andes virus and Choclo virus are agents of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Andes virus in hamsters almost always causes a disease that is pathologically indistinguishable from fatal hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. The purpose of this study was to assess the pathogenicity of Choclo virus in hamsters.

Differentiation of Prions from L-type BSE versus Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 We compared transmission characteristics for prions from L-type bovine spongiform encephalopathy and MM2-cortical sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in the Syrian golden hamster and an ovine prion protein–transgenic mouse line and isolated distinct prion

Efficient gene targeting in golden Syrian hamsters by the CRISPR/Cas9 system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The golden Syrian hamster is the model of choice or the only rodent model for studying many human diseases. However, the lack of gene targeting tools in hamsters severely limits their use in biomedical research.

Use of hamster as a model to study diet-induced atherosclerosis
Nutrition & Metabolism, 2010 Golden-Syrian hamsters have been used as an animal model to assess diet-induced atherosclerosis since the early 1980s. Advantages appeared to include a low rate of endogenous cholesterol synthesis, receptor-mediated uptake of LDL cholesterol, cholesteryl
