Lemming
Definition:
(n.) Any one of several species of small arctic rodents of the genera Myodes and Cuniculus, resembling the meadow mice in form. They are found in both hemispheres.
Example Sentences:
(1) The structure and ultrastructure of the following regions of the hypothalamo-hypophysial neurosecretory system (HHNS) in the population cycle of lemming were studied: supraoptic (SON), paraventricular (PVN) and arcuate nuclei (AN), the median eminence (ME) and posterior pituitary (PP).
(2) These results suggest that LEM are a reliable individual difference measure and are sensitive to task differences.
(3) Thus, the effects of LEM in stimulating hepatic amino acid transport appear to be direct, without mediation by other hormones, and to be independent of cAMP.
