(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.
(19) The present experiment demonstrates that the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) uses time-to-collision information to control deceleration as it runs towards a target.
(20) Fluorine-18-labeled ortho or para isomers of L-fluorophenylalanine were used in double-label experiments together with L-[3H]phenylalanine for amino acid incorporation into cerebral proteins of Mongolian gerbil brain.
