Effect of photic changes and olfactory impairment on reproduction in female south Indian gerbil.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Effect of exposure to constant light (CL), blinding and olfactory bulbectomy (OBX) on reproduction of adult and weanling female Tatera indica cuvieri was investigated. In adult females, CL induced changes in estrus cyclicity. Weanlings subjected to CL showed reduced ovarian weight. Blinding did not bring about changes in estrus cyclicity and reproductive organ weight (ovary and uterus) of either adults or weanlings. Estrus cyclicity of both adults and weanlings were affected consequent to OBX. In weanlings, OBX lowered the ovarian and uterine weight.

Olfactory bulbectomy-induced changes in the reproductive behaviour of the south Indian gerbil, Tatera indica cuvieri.
Male South Indian gerbils (T. indica cuvieri), both adults and weanlings, were olfactory bulbectomized (OBX) and changes in male reproductive behaviour were assessed. Consequent to OBX, majority of the adult males failed to ejaculate, and courtship behaviour has also been considerably reduced. All OBX weanlings were rendered incapable of ejaculation. However, maturational parameters, and organ ...

Introduction: The performance in most smell identification tests is subjected to cultural variations. This study aimed to evaluate age, gender, and smoking-related effects on the test performance in the North of Iran. Materials and Methods: The olfactory function of 1470 eligible subjects was assessed in this study. Moreover, this study evaluated the influence of age, ...
متن کاملEffect of ischemic preconditioning on the expression of c-myb in the CA1 region of the gerbil hippocampus after ischemia/reperfusion injury
Objective(s): In the present study, we investigated the effect of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) on c-myb immunoreactivity as well as neuronal damage/death after a subsequent lethal transient ischemia in gerbils. Materials and Methods: IPC was subjected to a 2 min sublethal ischemia and a lethal transient ischemia was given 5 min transient ischemia. The animals in all of the groups were given ...
متن کاملOlfactory bulbectomy impedes social but not photic reentrainment of circadian rhythms in female Octodon degus.
Recent studies demonstrated that nonphotic (social) cues markedly accelerate reentrainment to large phase shifts of the light-dark (LD) cycles in female Octodon degus and that such changes are likely effected by chemosensory stimuli. This experiment investigated the effects of olfactory bulbectomies on (1) socially facilitated reentrainment rates of circadian rhythms following a 6-h phase advan...
متن کاملThe Effects of Soy Milk on Histomorphometric Changes of Olfactory Bulb in Neonatal Ovariectomized RatsSprague- Dawley strain
Background & Objective: Soy milk contains isoflavones that comprises the phytoestrogens families. They have structural similarities with mammalian estrogen. This study was done to investigate the effects of soy milk on histomorphometric changes of olfactory bulb in neonatal ovariectomized rats. Materials & Methods: Thirty female rats Sprague- Dawley strain (one-day old) were kept in a standa...
