The common hamster is a critically endangered species, but it also perceived as pest. Searching for an economic reason its protection can be argument to prevent extinction. purpose of this paper reveal the identification services provided by hamsters in agricultural ecosystem and determination their correlation with human welfare. We propose methods that applied purpose, we check if knowledge s...

Abstract A worldwide effort to counter the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in hundreds of candidate vaccines moving through various stages research and development, including several phase 1, 2 3 clinical trials. relatively small number these have been evaluated SARS-CoV-2 disease models, fewer a severe model. Here, DNA targeting spike protein delivered by jet injection, nCoV-S(JET), elicited ne...

Buckley, Carolyn A., and Jill E. Schneider. Food hoarding is increased by food deprivation and decreased by leptin treatment in Syrian hamsters. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 285: R1021–R1029, 2003. First published May 1, 2003; 10.1152/ajpregu.00488.2002.—Compensatory increases in food intake are commonly observed after a period of food deprivation in many species, including laboratory...

Preimplantation embryo development was studied in the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus). Three groups of regularly cycling female hamsters were used: (I) 30 nulliparous young female (NYF) hamsters; (II) 24 nulliparous adult female (NAF) hamsters and (III) 30 multiparous adult female (MAF) hamsters. Female hamsters were mated with male hamsters of proven fertility. Only 15 min were allowed f...

Stress is known clinically and experimentally to contribute to the development or exacerbation of cardiovascular dysfunction. In an attempt to construct an animal model of stress-induced cardiovascular dysfunction and to understand its mechanisms, the effects of cold-immobilization stress and its cardiovascular consequences were investigated in cardiomyopathic Syrian hamsters (BIO 14.6) and age...

The pathogenesis of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection in fetal, newborn, and young adult hamsters was studied. Infected newborn hamsters initially developed a persistent viremia and viruria with titers often in excess of 10(4.0) mean infectious doses/0.03 ml of blood or urine. After week 12 two different patterns of infection became evident. Approximately one-half of the hamsters eve...

Dietary energy restriction was previously shown to be effective in preventing a wide range of experimentally induced cancers. Studies were conducted to assess the influence on pancreatic carcinogenesis of dietary energy restrictions (reduced fat and carbohydrate) of 10%, 20% or 40% in comparison with control in Syrian hamsters treated with N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine (BOP). Two carcinogenesi...

Splenectomy or pretreatment of adult hamsters with cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) increased the lethality of the TC-83 vaccine strain of Venezuelan encephalitis virus (VEE), inoculated subcutaneously, from 12% for normal hamsters to 75 and 76%, respectively. Neither splenectomy nor cyclophosphamide treatment significantly increased the lethality of Pixuna virus. Cytoxantreated (Cy) hamsters develop...

The present study was performed to compare the metabolite profiles of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the liver and serum of rats, hamsters, and guinea pigs after exposure to a PCB mixture, Kanechlor 500 (100 mg/kg, i.p.). The percentage of contribution of major PCB residues in the liver 5 days after exposure indicated that nonplanar PCBs with 2,4- or 2,3,4-chlorine substitution were more a...

We attempted to alter the inherited myocardial damage and loss of contractility of the cardiomyopathic Syrian hamster (strain U-MX7-1) by giving cardiac drugs that altered intracellular calcium and myocardial workload. Thirty-seven 21-day-old cardiomyopathic and thirty-seven 21-day-old normal hamsters were divided into five groups each: verapamil-, propranolol-, digoxin-, hydralazine-, and sali...
