(3) A comparison of the two former, high-altitude, populations showed the changes to occur more frequently (by 7.3%) in Khangai population, as compared to Gobi-Altaic residents (p less than 0.05), suggesting that the development of nonspecific myocardial changes is influenced by other, more forceful, factors, such as cold, as well as the altitude factor.
(4) The conicidence of surviving both of Crô-Magnon-typical men and of the archaic Altaic language on the Canary Islands as a reservation of megalithic civilization up to the Middle Ages (XVIth century) approves the hypothesis mentioned above.

Mongolian
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to Mongolia or the Mongols.
(n.) One of the Mongols.
Example Sentences:
(1) Confluent monolayers of capillary endothelial cells derived from Mongolian gerbil brain were irradiated with a single exposure of x-rays, and their radiosensitivity and sequential changes in morphology, staining intensity for factor VIII-related antigen (F VIII RAg), and capacity to produce prostacyclin (PGI2) were examined.
(2) Seizures elicited by posture change and intraperitoneal administration of convulsants were studied ontogenetically in the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus).
(3) Thus, hippocampal pyramidal and cortical neurons in both rat and Mongolian gerbil (M. unguiculatus) show abundant lysosomal dense bodies and disorganisation of the protein-synthesising apparatus.
(4) Radioimmunochemistry (RIA) and immunocytochemistry (ICC) were used to measure proenkephalin and prodynorphin peptides in the brain of a genetic model of epilepsy, the seizure-sensitive (SS) Mongolian gerbil.
(5) on the losses of membrane fatty acids (palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and arachidonic), the plasma membrane enzyme Na+, K+-ATPase, and the mitochondrial membrane enzyme Mg2+-ATPase, associated with global ischemia 24 hr after permanent unilateral occlusion of the carotid artery in Mongolian gerbils.
(6) This factor was found to be lethal not only to mice but also to other species of animals, Mongolian gerbils being most susceptible and New Zealand rabbits next.
(7) Mongolian gerbils received lesions of either the visual cortex, pretectal nuclei, superior colliculus or a sham operation.
(8) Mongolian gerbils were inoculated intracecally with E. histolytica trophozoites cultured monoxenically.
(9) Dopamine release into the extracellular space was measured with in vivo electrochemical detection in the ipsilateral and contralateral striata in Mongolian gerbils that suffered a stroke after acute unilateral carotid artery ligations.
(10) From these results, it is evident that the male Mongolian gerbil is almost sexually matured by 10 to 12 weeks of age.
(11) Optical fluorescence and reflectance measurements have been used to map the distribution of metabolic states in three dimensions in the gerbil brain with a spatial resolution of 200 microns an a time resolution of 4-6 s. In Mongolian gerbils anesthetized with pentobarbital, the redox states of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and flavoprotein components of the electron transport chain exhibit two distinct phases during the wave of spreading depression: (1) a transient period of oxidation and (2) a prolonged period of reduction, during which the cytochromes are reduced, and the hemoglobin is predominantly in the deoxy form.
(12) We describe our findings in an ultrastructural study of the endolymphatic sac of the mongolian gerbil.
(13) Seizure tendencies of three separate lines of Mongolian gerbils Meriones unguiculatus carrying three different coat color alleles were investigated.
(14) A phylogenetic factor (imprinting) is proposed to explain peaks seen in December and January for Caucasian, Mongolian, Finnish and Chilean samples living in the northern and southern hemispheres.
(15) The effects of short- and long-term early monocular deprivation were investigated in 4 Mongolian gerbils using interocular differences in grating acuity as a measure of deprivation-induced impairment.
(16) Therefore PAF appears to play an important role in the post-ischemic phase after bilateral carotid ligation in Mongolian gerbils.
(17) Diabetes-like processes found in the pancreas of mongolian gerbils were roughly grouped into two main types: (1) the histopathological process in which the fibrosis, initially prominent at perivascular space, spread to the islets, finally producing the islet's cell degeneration, and (2) the process of diffuse islet's hyperplasia.
(18) The effects of cerebral ischemia, induced for 10 min by bilateral common carotid ligation in the Mongolian gerbil, on the brain and synaptosomal content of phospholipids and free fatty acids were measured.
