Progress in research on the reproductive function in the sand rat (Psammomys obesus): A review
2023, General and Comparative EndocrinologyCitation Excerpt :P. obesus is an organism adapted to the changing availability of low-calorie diet and highly variable environmental conditions (Marquié et al., 1984; Kam and Degen, 1989). Physiological adjustments take place at the digestive (Buret et al., 1993; Laraki et al., 1998), diuretic (Zeghloul, 2014; Benmouloud, 2013), reproductive (Khammar and Brudieux, 1987; Gernigon et al., 1994; Fichet-Calvet et al., 1999a, 1999b) and endocrine level (Amirat et al., 1980). Due to this, P. obesus is a healthy animal in its natural habitat, with a metabolism adapted to a desert life with low-calorie food.
Effect of a water-rich diet on adrenal zona glomerulosa in Gerbillus tarabuli
2012, Comptes Rendus - BiologiesCitation Excerpt :These small mammals have developed different combinations of ecological, anatomical, behavioural and physiological adaptation strategies that enable them to survive under these conditions of extreme heat and water stress [4,5]. Several reports have documented that the rodent kidney and colon have developed morphological adaptations, which give them the opportunity to deliver highly concentrated urine [2,6–8]. Activity of both organs is controlled by the hormonal system including vasopressin and aldosterone, which are the main hormones involved [9,10].
Comparative murine norovirus studies reveal a lack of correlation between intestinal virus titers and enteric pathology
2011, VirologyCitation Excerpt :It should be noted that the severity of DSS-induced fecal inconsistency was similar to that observed in MNV-1-infected mice. This most likely reflects the fact that mice are desert animals and thus display enhanced absorption of fluid from the intestinal lumen that results in their relative resistance to the development of diarrhea (Buret et al., 1993). To determine whether MNV-3 attenuation (as defined by an inability to induce fecal inconsistency in wild-type mice) correlates with decreased replication efficiency in vivo, we next infected mice with equivalent doses of MNV-1 or MNV-3 by p.o. inoculation and measured virus titers at various times post-infection.
