High impact information on Lagomorpha

  • Strains of N. gonorrhoeae that resisted killing by human serum complement were killed by serum from rodent, lagomorph, and primate species, which cannot be readily infected experimentally with this organism and whose C4bp molecules did not bind to N. gonorrhoeae [1].
  • Characterization of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A locus in lagomorphs: evidence for duplication of the UGT1A6 gene [2].
  • Quantitative divergence analysis shows that the ancestor to rabbit psi beta 2 was active until 20-30 Myr ago, during which time the lagomorph beta-globin gene family apparently functioned without a pseudogene [3].
  • Multiple substitutions affect the phylogenetic utility of cytochrome b and 12S rDNA data: examining a rapid radiation in leporid (Lagomorpha) evolution [4].
  • The comparison of the coding sequence of the pig WAP gene to rodent or lagomorph WAP sequence already published demonstrated that only exon sequences are partially conserved [5].

Anatomical context of Lagomorpha

 

Associations of Lagomorpha with chemical compounds

  • Thus FFA released in response to stressors in lagomorphs may effect short-term increases in steroid binding [10].
  • In addition, demethylation of the sulfonamide side chain of the drug is evident in rodent and lagomorph species only [11].
  • High total LDH activity enables pikas to perform short bouts of anaerobic activity, while high levels of H-LDH isozymes may serve to enhance lactate removal and decrease recovery time in animals living at high altitude [12].
  • Colorimetric detection of lagomorphs' calicivirus genomic sequences by polymerase chain reaction incorporating digoxigenin dUTP [13].
  • Between 1985 and 1994, 368 cases of rabies in rodents (95% of reports) and lagomorphs (5%) were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia (USA), from 22 states [14].
 

Gene context of Lagomorpha

  • Analysis of IL-6 from four other lagomorph species suggests that this mutation is specific to the European rabbit [15].
  • The alpha 2C classification possibly separates, in general, human alpha 2-autoreceptors from those in lagomorph (rabbit) and rodent (rat, mouse, guinea pig) species that have been proposed to be predominantly alpha 2A or alpha 2D [16].
  • The IRBP results also offer some rare molecular support for the Glires concept, in which rodents and lagomorphs form a superordinal grouping [17].
  • The phylogenetic relationships among worldwide species of genus Ochotona were investigated by sequencing mitochondrial cytochrome b and ND4 genes [18].
  • In the intermediate lobe, the colocalization of TH- and GABA-immunoreactivities was a constant feature of the axons innervating the melanotrophic cells in all the species examined, except in the Leporidae [19].
