(16) 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.
(17) could trigger seizures, and this suggests that the pathophysiology of epileptiform events in gerbils may have a unique association with exploratory behavior.
(18) The effects of transient forebrain ischemia on the extracellular concentration of the excitatory amino acids glutamate and aspartate were studied in the gerbil hippocampus using microdialysis.
(19) Thus we were able to obtain accurate values of the amount and the fatty acid composition of 1,2-diacylglycerols in gerbil forebrains using HPLC and in situ freezing technique.
(20) In the three normoglycemic control groups neurologic status stabilized 120 minutes after the onset of ischemia, in the brief hyperglycemia group stabilization occurred at 210 minutes, and in the prolonged hyperglycemia group neurologic deficit progressed for approximately 360 minutes, coinciding with the death of all but one gerbil, in which the neurologic deficit remained stable until death 23 hours after ischemia.
Jerboa
Definition:
(n.) Any small jumping rodent of the genus Dipus, esp. D. Aegyptius, which is common in Egypt and the adjacent countries. The jerboas have very long hind legs and a long tail.
Example Sentences:
(1) The sexual differences and the seasonal variation in the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) content of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of a desert rodent, the jerboa (Jaculus orientalis) were studied using immunocytochemical techniques.
(2) The effect of lipolytic hormones (norepinephrine and glucagon) and antilipolytic hormone (insulin) on in vitro glycerol release by adipose tissue isolated from hibernating or euthermic jerboa has been studied.
(3) 22 species of fleas have been found on five species of jerboa in southern Pribalkhashje.
(4) The adrenal of the jerboa is characterized by absence of a compression and a juxta-medullary zone, as well as of a connective tissue layer between the cortex and medulla, availability of two different types of cells in the medulla which produce different catecholamines.
(5) The structural properties of skeletal muscle phosphofructokinase from euthermic and hibernating jerboa were compared.
(6) Plasma glucose, glycerol, free fatty acids and total lipid content of the white adipose tissue were measured in euthermic and hibernating jerboa.
(7) Of them 8 species are parasites of jerboa, 13 -- of gerbils and one -- of birds.
(8) Most abundant are three species of fleas of jerboa: M. lenis, M. eucta and O. volgensis.
(9) Jerboa labelled absorptive cells were located along the colonic mucosal surface.
(10) Seasonal variations in daytime pineal 5-methoxytryptophol (5-ML) and in the daily pattern of both pineal 5-ML and melatonin concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay in male and female jerboas, Jaculus orientalis.
(11) Western blot experiments confirmed the presence of calbindin D28k in the adult pig intestine, in the jerboa colon and the absence of cross-reactivity between calbindin D28k antibody and calbindin D9k.
(12) We have described the presence of calbindin D28k-immunoreactivity in intestinal absorptive cells of pig and jerboa (Jaculus jaculus).
