| chromosomal pairing in deer mice heterozygous for the presence of heterochromatic short arms. | the pattern of chromosomal pairing was analyzed in male deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus and peromyscus sitkensis) heterozygous for the presence of heterochromatic short arms. g- and c-banding of somatic metaphases indicated that the presence of heterochromatic short arms increased the length of chromosome 4 by 15% in p. sitkensis and that of chromosome 8 by 9% in p. maniculatus. analysis of silver-stained late zygotene and early pachytene nuclei revealed a low frequency of unequal axial length ... | 1988 | 3371655 |
| identification of p-450alc in microsomes from alcohol dehydrogenase-deficient deermice: contribution to ethanol elimination in vivo. | isozyme 3a of rabbit hepatic cytochrome p-450, also termed p-450alc, was previously isolated and characterized and was shown to be induced 3- to 5-fold by exposure to ethanol. in the present study, antibody against rabbit p-450alc was used to identify a homologous protein in alcohol dehydrogenase-negative (adh-) and -positive (adh+) deermice, peromyscus maniculatus. the antibody reacts with a single protein having an apparent molecular weight of 52,000 on immunoblots of hepatic microsomes from u ... | 1988 | 3395117 |
| susceptibility of the gray wolf (canis lupus) to infection with the lyme disease agent, borrelia burgdorferi. | four juvenile gray wolves (canis lupus) were inoculated with live borrelia burgdorferi. one received an intravenous inoculum, a second was inoculated subcutaneously, and two more were fed peromyscus maniculatus sucklings which had earlier been inoculated with b. burgdorferi. the intravenously inoculated wolf developed a generalized lymphadenopathy and a persistent serum antibody titer to the spirochete which peaked at 1:512. borrelia burgdorferi was visualized in liver sections of this wolf usin ... | 1988 | 3411709 |
| stress-induced opioid analgesia and activity in deer mice: sex and population differences. | we compared restraint stress-induced opioid, analgesic and locomotory responses of 4 different populations of male and female deer mice, peromyscus maniculatus artemisiae and p. m. nebrascensis from mainlands, and p. m. angustus and p. m. triangularis from small islands. all of the deer mice displayed immobilization-induced analgesia which was blocked by the prototypical mu-opiate antagonist, naloxone (1.0 mg/kg). in all of the populations males displayed significantly greater levels of analgesi ... | 1987 | 3427425 |
| the molecular organization of the beta-globin complex of the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus. | recombinant dna clones have been isolated that contain 80 kb of the beta-globin complex from the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus. comparisons of this complex with that from the laboratory mouse, mus domesticus (with an order 5'-hbby, hbb-bho, hbb-bhl, hbb-bh2, hbb-bh3, hbb-bl, hbb-b2 3') highlight organizational trends in the beta-globin complex since the two species diverged. unlike other mammals studied thus far, the deer mouse possesses three adult genes. partial sequence analysis indicate ... | 1987 | 3447002 |
| accelerated wound repair in old deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) and white-footed mice (peromyscus leucopus). | the closure of bilateral full thickness cutaneous wounds, made over the back with a sharp paper punch, was measured and assessed histologically in outbred deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) and white-footed mice (peromyscus leucopus). in contrast to inbred c57bl/6j laboratory mice (mus musculus), in which the rate of wound repair was more rapid in young than in mature or aged mice (cohen et al., 1987), wound repair in peromyscus was most rapid in aged animals. aged peromyscus (45 to 70 months) a ... | 1987 | 3571866 |
| platinum coat color locus in the deer mouse. | platinum coat color in the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus, is an autosomal recessive trait marking a locus, pt, distinct from silver (si), albino (c), blonde (bl), brown (b), and agouti (a). platinum deer mice are conspicuously pale, with light ears and tail stripe. the pewter trait is allelic with and phenotypically identical to platinum, and represents an independent recurrence of this mutant. the rate of recoveries of coat color mutations from wild deer mice is consistent with available d ... | 1987 | 3611714 |
| neurons in the suprachiasmatic area are labelled after intravenous injections of horseradish peroxidase. | intravenous injections of horseradish peroxidase (hrp) produced labelled neurons in the suprachiasmatic area of house mice (mus musculus), deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus bairdi), and white-footed mice (peromyscus leucopus). in the two species of peromyscus, a significant proportion of the labelled cells was found within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (scn). these results suggest that when hrp is injected in the eyes to trace retinal inputs to the hypothalamus, some of the reaction product seen i ... | 1987 | 3622673 |
| gonadal regression induced by caloric restriction is not mediated by the pineal gland in deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus). | the role of the pineal gland in mediating reproductive regression in response to nonphotoperiodic cues was assessed. a proportion of deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) undergo gonadal regression subsequent to moderate food restriction. the reproductive regression after inanition qualitatively and quantitatively resembles short-day-induced regression. the physiological mechanisms responsible for gonadal regression after food restriction are unknown. the hypothesis that the mechanisms underlying p ... | 1987 | 3625465 |
| sex and day-night differences in opiate-induced responses of insular wild deer mice, peromyscus maniculatus triangularis. | we examined the effects of mu and kappa opiate agonists on the day- and night-time nociceptive, locomotory and ingestive behaviors of an island population of wild male and female deer mice, peromyscus maniculatus triangularis. the prototypical mu opiate agonist, morphine, had significant analgesic and locomotory effects, which were blocked by naloxone, and the specific delta opiate antagonist, ici 154,129, respectively. the specific kappa opiate agonist, u-50,488, had significant analgesic actio ... | 1987 | 3659070 |
| sex differences in magnetic field inhibition of morphine-induced responses of wild deer mice, peromyscus maniculatus triangularis. | an exposure for 60 min to a 0.5 hz weak rotating magnetic field (1.5-90 g) reduced the day-time locomotory and analgesic effects of morphine (10 mg/kg) in a wild population of deer mice. peromyscus maniculatus triangularis. females displayed significantly lower levels of morphine-induced responses and sensitivity to the inhibitory effects of the magnetic fields than did the males. these responses indicate that there are sex differences in the effects of weak magnetic fields on the opiate-mediate ... | 2013 | 3671517 |
| disruption of ejaculates by male copulation in deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus). | six experiments were conducted to analyze possible disruption of sperm transport occurring when one male deer mouse copulates soon after another male ejaculates. when a second male mated soon after the first, females had significantly fewer uterine sperm 1 hr later than when a delay of 7 or 15 min was imposed between males. however, it was impossible to detect any effect of such disruption on pregnancy initiation. similarly, artificial stimulation soon after an ejaculation was ineffective in dis ... | 1987 | 3685153 |
| a model to assess survival mechanisms of parasites in a genetically defined host system. | we examined a host system (peromyscus maniculatus) in which a single autosomal gene controls susceptibility or resistance to infection by the cestode parasite hymenolepis citelli. parasite deaths of both primary and secondary (challenge) infections were examined, using a probabilistic model, to see if deaths were random and uncorrelated within each genotype. within susceptible hosts, post-patent survival of primary worms was not random and heterogeneity was due to among-host effects rather than ... | 1986 | 3714298 |

| oral infection of peromyscus maniculatus with borrelia burgdorferi and subsequent transmission by ixodes dammini. | we determined if deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) could be infected by borrelia burgdorferi and develop sufficient spirochetemia to infect larval ixodes dammini. ten p. maniculatus were infected orally with 0.05 ml phosphate buffered saline containing approximately 400 b. burgdorferi. on days 21 or 28 after infection (ai) larval i. dammini were fed on the deer mice. each of the p. maniculatus developed antibodies (up to 7 log2) to b. burgdorferi and b. burgdorferi was isolated from the blood o ... | 1987 | 3826500 |
| heat loss regulation: role of appendages and torso in the deer mouse and the white rabbit. | thermal conductance was subdivided into the component conductances of the appendages and torso using a heat transfer analysis for the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus, and the white rabbit, oryctolagus cuniculus. our analysis was based on laboratory measurements of skin temperature and respiratory gas exchange made between air temperatures of 8 and 34 degrees c for the deer mouse, and from published data for the white rabbit. two series conductances to heat transfer for each appendage and tors ... | 1985 | 3837023 |
| evaporative water loss: thermoregulatory requirements and measurements in the deer mouse and white rabbit. | using a physical model of the capacity for non-evaporative heat loss and measurements of metabolic heat production, i evaluated the evaporative requirements for thermoregulation in the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus, and the white rabbit, oryctolagus cuniculus. the physical limit to non-evaporative heat loss was calculated from the heat transfer properties of the two animals and expressed as a maximum thermal conductance (cmax). two physiologically-based thermal conductances were derived fro ... | 1985 | 3837024 |
| effects of ambient temperature and altitude on ventilation and gas exchange in deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus). | the effects of different ambient temperatures (ta) on gas exchange and ventilation in deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) were determined after acclimation to low and high altitude (340 and 3,800 m). at both low and high altitude, oxygen consumption (vo2) decreased with increasing ta at ta from -10 to 30 degrees c. the vo2 was 15-20% smaller at high altitude than at low altitude at ta below 30 degrees c. increased vo2 at ta below thermoneutrality was supported by increased minute volume (vi) at b ... | 1985 | 3837039 |
| chronic and acute trypanosomiasis in mice: a study by in vitro cloning of lymphohaematopoietic progenitors. | a semi-solid culture system was used to study the effects of trypanosome infection in two species of mice on the propagation of progenitor cells from the bone marrow and spleen. the deer mouse (peromyscus maniculatus) survived infection with trypanosoma (t.) equiperdum for more than 15 days. during the first 10 days there was inhibition of development of granulocyte-monocyte colonies from progenitor cells in the bone marrow. b-lymphocyte progenitors in the spleen showed increased activity, produ ... | 1985 | 3873680 |
| failure of 2-deoxy-d-glucose to stimulate feeding in deermice. | deermice (peromyscus maniculatus) did not increase their food intake above baseline following treatment with 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2dg, 500 or 1000 mg/kg). they did eat more following food deprivation or treatment with insulin at a high dose (100 u/kg). house mice (mus musculus) showed hyperphagia to 2dg, low dose of insulin (5 u/kg) and deprivation. | 1985 | 3898162 |
| low p50 in deer mice native to high altitude. | whereas it is widely believed that animals native to high altitude show lower o2 partial pressures at 50% hemoglobin saturation (p50) than do related animals native to low altitude, that "fact" has not been well documented. consequently, p50 at ph 7.4, pco2(7.4), the co2 bohr effect, and the buffer slope (delta log pco2/delta ph) were determined via the mixing technique in peromyscus maniculatus native to a range of altitudes but acclimated to 340 or 3,800 m. pco2(7.4) and buffer slope were subs ... | 1985 | 3917990 |
| photic cues induce multiple neuroendocrine adjustments in testicular function. | neuroendocrine responses were evaluated in an outbred population of deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus nebrascensis) after exposure to an inhibitory photoperiod (8:16 light-dark) for 10 wk. deer mice were chosen as an animal model for this study because they are typical of naturally selected species that rely on environmental factors to signal the onset or cessation of annual reproductive effort. short photoperiods induced multiple neuroendocrine adjustments as judged by three types of spermatoge ... | 1986 | 3946637 |
| effects of intrahypothalamically administered norepinephrine, serotonin and bombesin on thermoregulation in the deermouse (peromyscus maniculatus). | norepinephrine, serotonin, and bombesin administered intrahypothalamically affected thermoregulation in the deermouse, peromyscus maniculatus. at a ta of 22 degrees c, doses of 3 micrograms and 6 micrograms of ne resulted in transient hypothermia (maximum drop of 1.6 +/- 1.0 degrees c and 4.3 +/- 2.3 degrees c, respectively). a 1.5 microgram dose of 5-ht induced a persistent hyperthermia (maximum increase of 1.8 +/- 0.8 degrees c) which persisted for more than 2 h. a 6 microgram dose of 5-ht did ... | 1986 | 3947967 |
| the mechanism of autosomal synapsis and the substaging of zygonema and pachynema from deer mouse spermatocytes. | surface-spread and silver-stained spermatocytes of peromyscus maniculatus and p. sitkensis were analyzed in order to develop criteria for the recognition of meiotic substages from early zygonema through early diplonema. the continuous sequence of changes in the morphology of the autosomal axes (lateral elements) of the synaptonemal complexes (sc), sex chromosome axes, and nucleoli enabled the recognition of three substages of zygonema and five of pachynema. the proposed system of subdivision is ... | 1986 | 3948599 |
| photoperiodic time measurement in the male deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus. | weanling male deer mice, peromyscus maniculatus, were exposed for three weeks either to light-dark (ld) cycles with periods (t=l+d) ranging from t=23 (1l:22d) to t=25.16 (1l:24.16d) or to 24-h ld cycles with photoperiods ranging from 1 (1l:23d) to 19 (19l:5d) h. both the circadian locomotor activity rhythms and the response of the reproductive system to these ld cycles were assessed. the results demonstrate that the photoperiodic effectiveness of light depends on the phase of the light relative ... | 1985 | 4005352 |
| studies of pericopulatory pregnancy blockage and the gestation period in deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus). | it has previously been shown that female deer mice in cycling estrus that copulate with or are exposed to more than one male at the time of mating have a lower probability of delivering a litter than when mating with and being exposed to just one male. in the present research the effect of post-mating exposure to the bedding of a strange versus a familiar male was studied in females in postpartum estrus. in four experiments females in postpartum estrus were protected from pericopulatory pregnanc ... | 1985 | 4007797 |
| reproductive development in male deer mice exposed to aggressive behavior. | male deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus bairdii) were reared in a long photoperiod and housed individually from 3 weeks of age until they were killed 2, 4, or 6 weeks later. males that were exposed to aggressive females for 2 min, three times per week, were of normal body weight and healthy, but had smaller reproductive organs than did males exposed to a control treatment. reproductive development in male deer mice is responsive to at least two classes of social stimuli: pheromones and aggressive ... | 1985 | 4039275 |
| eimeria species (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) infecting peromyscus rodents in the southwestern united states and northern mexico with description of a new species. | of 198 deermice (peromyscus spp) collected from various localities in the southwestern united states and northern mexico, 106 (54%) had eimerian oocysts in their feces when examined. these included 50 of 106 (47%) peromyscus truei, 34 of 54 (63%) peromyscus maniculatus, 4 of 17 (24%) peromyscus leucopus, and 18 of 21 (86%) peromyscus eremicus. the following eimeria were identified from infected mice: eimeria arizonensis and eimeria langebarteli from p. truei; e. arizonensis, eimeria peromysci, a ... | 1985 | 4057004 |
| effects of laryngeal denervation on ultrasound production and male sexual behavior in rodents. | adult male house mice (mus musculus) and deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus bairdi) were used to investigate the effects of partial denervation of the larynx on ultrasound production. in addition the masculine sexual behavior of vocalizing and muted males was assessed on tests with receptive females. for both species, unilateral transections of the inferior laryngeal nerve (iln) significantly reduced the proportion of males that emitted ultrasonic vocalizations. however, the inability to vocalize ... | 1985 | 4059379 |
| chromosome variation in peromyscus: a new mechanism. | differences in total chromosome lengths between two karyotypically divergent groups of peromyscus maniculatus are taken as evidence for an deletion mechanism of chromosomal variation in the species. the differences may be due in part to variation in the amount of constitutive heterochromatin in the two karyotypes. | 2014 | 4113739 |

| medroxyprogesterone, immunosuppression, and conceptus size in peromyscus. | effects of exogenous medroxyprogesterone acetate (mpa) on skin transplant retention and conceptus size were studied in the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus, and the oldfield mouse peromyscus polionotus. daily injections of 2 mg mpa significantly prolonged survival of allografts in p. maniculatus and transspecific grafts between p. maniculatus and p. polionotus. allografts were retained significantly longer than transspecific grafts (17.2 vs 12.4 days) on mpa-treated p. maniculatus. near-term f ... | 1983 | 6345716 |
| normal testicular structure and reproductive function in deermice lacking retinol and alcohol dehydrogenase activity. | it was found that a strain of deermice (peromyscus maniculatus), which genetically lacks liver alcohol dehydrogenase activity also displays no such activity in the testis and is devoid of the enzyme activity that converts retinol to retinal, both in liver and in the testis; nevertheless, these animals exhibit normal reproduction and testicular histology. therefore, one must reconsider the theory that the testicular atrophy and aspermatogenesis commonly found in alcoholics is due, at least in par ... | 1984 | 6365975 |
| non-alcohol dehydrogenase-mediated metabolism of methylazoxymethanol in the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus. | the concept that alcohol dehydrogenase (adh) is involved in the metabolism of methylazoxymethanol (mam) was examined in a model consisting of two strains of the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus, one of which has a normal complement of the enzyme [adh(+)], and the other, which completely lacks it [adh(-)]. both the adh(+) and the adh(-) strains rapidly metabolized [14c]mam, administered in the form of the acetic acid ester, [14c] mamoac , to 14co2, and the rates and extents of metabolism were v ... | 1984 | 6372998 |
| reservoirs of giardia spp. in southwestern alberta. | a survey of potential hosts of giardia spp. was carried out during 1982 and 1983 in the kananaskis valley and banff national park, alberta, canada. diagnosis was based mainly on fecal analysis but a few animals were examined at necropsy and scrapings from the small intestine analyzed. a total of 304 specimens was examined from humans (homo sapiens l.) and a variety of animal species. cysts and/or trophozoites of giardia were found in 10.5% of the specimens examined. positive samples were found f ... | 1984 | 6397598 |
| effect of indomethacin on reproduction under laboratory and field conditions in deermice (peromyscus maniculatus). | the purpose of this investigation was to determine the long-term effect of enterically administered indomethacin (a prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor) on reproduction in peromyscus maniculatus (deermice) under both laboratory and field conditions. indomethacin-coated wheat (1 mg/kg wheat) was provided to the experimental animals in the laboratory and under field conditions ad libitum. rat chow was also provided to the animals in the laboratory. the laboratory data indicate that the number and s ... | 1983 | 6403066 |
| evidence for heterosynaptic pairing of the inverted segment in pericentric inversion heterozygotes of the deer mouse (peromyscus maniculatus). | silver-stained pachytene cells of male deer mice, peromyscus maniculatus, which were heterozygous for a naturally occurring pericentric inversion of chromosome 6, were analyzed by light microscopy. the presence of the terminally positioned inversion, involving approximately 30% of the length of chromosome 6, was detected by g-banding. within the inversion, c-band-positive heterochromatin was restricted to the centromeric region. silver-staining of spermatocytes revealed the synaptonemal complexe ... | 1984 | 6467983 |
| involvement of the circadian system in photoperiodic control of pubertal development in female deer mice, peromyscus maniculatus. | pubertal development in female deer mice, peromyscus maniculatus, was stimulated by exposure to light cycles of ld 16:8, ld 6:30 or ld 6:54, but not by exposure to cycles of ld 6:18 or ld 6:42. these results support the hypothesis that female deer mice use a circadian rhythm of responsiveness to light to measure photoperiodic time. | 1984 | 6468610 |
| kinetics of cytoplasmic aspartate aminotransferase from three genotypes of the deer mouse (peromyscus maniculatus). | three genotypic forms of the cytoplasmic enzyme, aspartate aminotransferase from the deer mouse (peromyscus maniculatus) were each analyzed kinetically after partial purification. kmapp and vmax for aspartate decreased in value as temperature changed from 37.9 to 15 degrees c for all three forms. for the aa genotype, the binding enthalpies were highest at 37.9 degrees c and lowest at 25 degrees c, while for the a'a' form, they were lowest at 37.9 degrees and highest at 25 degrees c. results for ... | 1984 | 6478801 |
| atropine esterase status of laboratory mice. | fifty eight inbred strains of laboratory mice and two species of wild mice [mus castaneus (inbred) and peromyscus maniculatus bairdii (closed colony)] were tested for the presence of atropine esterase by the microhematocrit tube test of tucker and beattie. the results show clearly that laboratory mice do not have significant levels of atropine esterase as determined either by the microhematocrit tube test or by the agar plate test, and therefore that under these conditions atropine esterase is n ... | 1984 | 6482377 |
| industrial lead contamination of an illinois wildlife refuge and indigenous small mammals. | deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) were trapped from a sand prairie at various distances from an adjacent battery lead reclamation plant. analysis of liver, kidney, and bone for lead concentrations showed an increase of tissue lead concentrations over controls to a distance of approximately 400 m. soil and plant lead concentrations roughly correlated with the findings in deer mouse tissues. at higher tissue lead concentrations, acid-fast staining intranuclear inclusions within renal tubular epit ... | 1984 | 6511573 |
| photosensitive stages in pubertal development of male deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus). | male deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus bairdii) were exposed to a long (15l:9d) or short (6l:18d) photoperiod during four stages of development. at 6 weeks of postnatal age degree of pubertal development was determined by measurement of testis and seminal vesicle weights and area of the androgen-dependent sebaceous gland. continuous exposure to a short photoperiod beginning before conception (i.e. mother kept in short days), at conception, or at birth markedly retarded pubertal development. init ... | 1984 | 6512755 |
| effect of transitional photoperiods on testicular development and puberty in male deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus). | in a series of five experiments, young male deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus bairdii) were exposed to photoperiods ranging in length from 3 to 19 h per 24-h period, as well as to constant light and constant darkness. reproductive organ growth as measured at 6 weeks of age was inhibited by less than or equal to 11.5 h of light. in males receiving 11.5-19 h of light, there was a quantitative increase in reproductive organ size as a function of photoperiod. rather than a 'critical' photoperiod par ... | 1984 | 6512756 |
