Psychiatry related information on Myoxidae

 

High impact information on Myoxidae

  • The complete mitochondrial genome of the fat dormouse, Glis glis, has been sequenced (16,602 bp) [4].
  • Seasonal changes in vasopressin in the brain of the garden dormouse (Eliomys quercinus L.) [5].
  • Effects of both a melatonin agonist and antagonist on seasonal changes in body mass and energy intake in the garden dormouse [6].
  • Neuronal systems immunologically related to the somatostatin system in the garden dormouse [7].
  • Cells and fibers containing somatostain (SRIF) or SRIF-like peptides were detected immunocytochemically in the brain of the garden dormouse (Eliomys quercinus L.). The periventricular preoptic nucleus and the paraventricular nucleus encompass a component of the SRIF-immunoreactive hypothalamo-infundibular and hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal systems [7].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Myoxidae

 

Biological context of Myoxidae

 

Anatomical context of Myoxidae

  • Infradian cycles in glucose utilization and lipogenic enzyme activity in dormouse (Glis glis) adipocytes [11].
  • As the latter resembled the fluctuations previously observed in intact animals exposed to constant ambient temperatures, it is proposed that in edible dormice, the annual thyroid cycle, which is thermoperiodically entrained, in turn entrains the testosterone cycle [1].
  • The effect of temperature and secretagogue (glucose and arginine) on glucagon secretion was studied using perfused pancreas from hibernating edible dormouse [12].
  • 4. Insulin did not increase the glucose oxidation by the adipose tissue from hibernating dormouse whereas adipocytes from active animal present high insulin sensitivity [13].
  • Glucose tolerance tests made in the Edible dormouse showed annual variations in B cell secretory capacity, associated with glucose tolerance changes [14].
 

Associations of Myoxidae with chemical compounds

  • During the pre-hibernation fattening period, dormice eat lipid rich food with a high content of linoleic acid [15].
  • We recorded Tb, O2-consumption and CO2-production in unrestrained dormice at different Ta's for periods of up to several months [16].
 

Gene context of Myoxidae

  • A powerful antilipolytic effect of NPY was found only in the garden dormouse [17].
  • Brain gangliosides of normothermic dormice were found to be more sensitive against neuraminidase treatment than those of hibernating animals [18].
  • From these dormouse nests, 180 Monopsyllus sciurorum sciurorum fleas were examined by polymerase chain reaction with primers for the Rickettsia citrate synthase gene [19].
  • Phylogenetic position and geographic differentiation of the Japanese dormouse, Glirulus japonicus, revealed by variations among rDNA, mtDNA and the Sry gene [20].
  • Edible dormice (Glis glis) reproduce in years with beech mast seeding, but entire populations may skip reproduction in years when tree seeds, a major food resource of this small hibernator, are absent [21].
