Response of the Kangaroo Rat (Dipodomys merriami Mearns) to Single Whole-Body X-Irradiation

Influence of Several Autonomic Drugs on Sodium Nitroprusside and Oxotremorine-Induced Hypothermia in Immature and Mature Mice

“…A partial blockade of oxotrernorine activity by chlorpromazine was observed in the mature group, which was probably caused by the weak parasympatholytic effect of the phenothiazine (13,14). Conversely, it is also possible that oxotremorine may have interfered with the hypothermia elicited by chlorpromazine.…”

Effects of trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene on wild rodents at Edwards Air Force Base, California, USA

“…Population size can be expected to increase with increased resource abundance. Blood indices for small mammals: Mean (standard deviation) and sample size for literature-derived baseline (baseline), field-exposed (treatment), and reference animals (reference) collected at Edwards [17]. Table 3.…”

“…Hematology and blood chemistry results were compared with the CPL's clinical pathology normal ranges for laboratory rats and baseline blood values recorded for wild Panamint, Merriam's, and chisel-toothed (D. microps) kangaroo rats [17][18][19]. In spring 2000, 58 small mammals were killed for blood and tissue samples (25 Merriam's and 22 Panamint kangaroo rats and 11 deer mice).…”

Biology and Diseases of Other Rodents

“…Females are seasonally polyestrous and estrus is correlated to availability of food. Hematocrits have been reported for D. panamintinus (Scelza and Knoll, 1982) and D. merriami (Haley et al, 1960). Gestation lasts approximately 29-33 days.…”
