(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.
Mongoloid
Definition:
(a.) Resembling a Mongol or the Mongols; having race characteristics, such as color, hair, and features, like those of the Mongols.
Example Sentences:
(1) Epicanthal folds were present in 46%, mongoloid slanting of the lids in 72% of cases.
(2) The percentages of two-locus haplotypes in LD shared with other populations turned out to be 45% with caucasoids, 20% with negroids and 10% with mongoloids.
(3) An application of this method is presented to find clusters of 31 Mongoloid tribal populations of eastern India using ABO gene frequency data.
(4) Thus, the population frequency of attached is 25.37%, a value within the range for Caucasoids but lower than for Mongoloids.
(5) This observation can be expressed numerically by the "labial index", which in mongoloids was found significantly lower.
(6) Haptoglobin polymorphism has been studied in 148 Ladakhis -- a Mongoloid population inhabiting the northern-most region of India.
(7) Frequency of missing one or more third molars was less than expected and not as high as reported in peoples of Mongoloid heritage.
(8) Plasma total cholesterol in the mongoloids did not differ significantly from that of the control group, but it was low in both groups in comparison with the Finnish population in general.
(9) An abnormal ALDH isozyme has been found to be widely prevalent among individuals of Mongoloid race, and is mainly responsible for the acute sensitivity to alcohol commonly observed in this race.
(10) The frequency of the C2 gene varied between 10.4% in Pamirians and 27.4% in Koreans and was generally higher in populations of Mongoloid origin.
(11) Antibody titer values to EBV were also similar; however, in comparison to the other groups, significantly more mongoloids were seropositive at younger ages.
