| effects of advancing age on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis of the female white-footed mouse (peromyscus leucopus). | peromyscus leucopus, with an average lifespan of 48 months, showed unchanged levels of serum luteinizing hormone (lh), estradiol, progesterone, and pituitary lh and prolactin, between the ages of 12 and 48 months. hypothalamic lh-releasing hormone (lhrh), norepinephrine and dopamine also remained unchanged with advancing age. ovarian and uterine weight decreased with age, although the changes in uterine weight were not statistically significant. these data indicate that the hypothalamic-pituitar ... | 1980 | 7000517 |
| native trichinosis in wild rodents in henrico county, virginia. | encapsulated larvae of trichinella spiralis were found in wild-trapped, microtus pennsylvanicus and sigmodon hispidus. in addition, peromyscus leucopus and mus musculus again were found infected. these mammals were trapped from a farm site in henrico county, virginia, remote from known potential sources of trichinosis. the possible zoonotic relationship between wild rodent trichinosis and swine trichinosis is discussed. | 1980 | 7001047 |

| inheritance and expression of esterase-1 allozymes in peromyscus leucopus. | we analyzed inheritance of 5 es-1 alleles in p leucopus and found them to be co-dominant and segregating from a single autosomal locus, thereby verifying assumptions of mendelian inheritance implicit in field data. we also described an allele that is 'silent' in hemolysate, but is active in liver extract. | 1980 | 7418791 |
| effect of photoperiod and melatonin on testicular development in the white-footed mouse, peromyscus leucopus. | at autopsy the absolute and relative testicular weights of 6-week-old white-footed mice were significantly lower (p < 0.001) in animals exposed to a short photoperiod (8l : 16d) or exposed to a long photoperiod (16l : 8d) and treated with a 1 mg melatonin s.c. implant than in those kept only in a long photoperiod. the long photoperiod animals had tests of normal appearance and complete spermatogenesis, but there had been little development in the testes of the other animals and seminiferous tubu ... | 1980 | 7431321 |

| intraperitoneal transmitters in suckling white-footed mice, peromyscus leucopus. | intraperitoneal transmitter implantation in suckling white-footed mice, peromyscus leucopus, was studied. postnatal morphological development varied. age ranged from 9 to 16 days, and body weight ranged from 4.4 to 7.3 g. interference by mothers prevented successful implantation on sucklings which retained their neonatal appearance. growth was measured in 6 sucklings for 21 days. observed growth rates based on daily weight gain per 24 h were 0.29 and 0.32 g for implanted and control mice, respec ... | 1980 | 7213956 |
| transmission studies with sarcocystis idahoensis of deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) and gopher snakes (pituophis melanoleucus). | transmission studies with sarcocystis idahoensis of deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) and gopher snakes (pituophis melanoleucus) were conducted to determine host specificity of various stages of the parasite. sporocysts were not passed by four dogs or four cats fed infected skeletal muscle from deer mice. seven white mice (mus musculus) and 34 white-footed mice (peromyscus leucopus) were negative for sarcocysts and liver meronts following oral inoculation with s. idahoensis sporocysts; however, ... | 1980 | 6776292 |
| aging and ovarian function in the white-footed mouse (peromyscus leucopus) with specific reference to the development of preovulatory follicles. | a study was made of the effects of increasing age on uterine histology, follicular development and steroidogenesis within the ovary of the white-footed mouse (peromyscus leucopus). the animals were autopsied on each day of the estrous cycle and ranged from 14 to 49 mos. of age. the data indicated that the animals maintained estrous cycles throughout their lifespan as judged by cyclic changes in uterine histology. in addition these studies showed that aging (1) did not alter ovarian concentration ... | 1980 | 7191810 |

| optimal foraging: the responses of peromyscus leucopus to experimental changes in processing time and hunger. | food density, degree of hunger prior to foraging, and food processing difficulty were varied in order to determine their effects on the diet diversity of captive peromyscus leucopus foraging for buried seeds. no relationship was found between diet diversity and food density. however, diet diversity exhibited a significantly positive relationship with hunger, and a significantly negative relationship with seed processing time. these results strongly support optimal foraging theory. | 1980 | 28310630 |
| multiple responses to different photoperiods occur in the mouse, peromyscus leucopus. | 1. peromyscus leucopus exhibits multiple responses to different daylengths. the winter molt and gonadal regression are complete in populations chronically exposed to 12, 11, 10, or 9 h of light per day while hypertrophy of brown fat and occurrence of daily torpor were greater in mice on 9 or 10 h of light when compared to animals on 11 or 12 h photocycles. 2. a precise "critical" daylength is not observed in this species for gonadal regression, occurrence of daily torpor, or hypertrophy of brown ... | 1980 | 28309556 |

| odontomas in peromyscus leucopus. | a colony of peromyscus leucopus was established 15 years ago from animals trapped in the deciduous forest at argonne national laboratory, argonne, illinois. a roentgenographic survey of the skeletons of 189 of these untreated animals dying during a 13-month period disclosed 48 odontogenic growths in 21 of the mice. these growths were diagnosed on histopathologic examination as complex odontomas, the incidence of which was higher in males than in females. in this relatively small sample, these be ... | 1979 | 287830 |
| longevity, stability and dna repair. | the functional capacity of a cell, tissue, organ, or organism is dependent upon its ability to maintain the stability of its unit components. the higher the differentiated state of the system, the greater the amount of stability required to maintain that state as a function of time. stability can be achieved via either redundancy or repair. redundancy while easily achievable in biological systems is both costly and limited by thermodynamic considerations. repair, in its general sense, has no suc ... | 1979 | 374892 |

| intraerythrocytic parasites in rodent populations of connecticut: babesia and grahamella species. | a total of 612 peromyscus leucopus, 11 microtus pennsylvanicus, 21 clethrionomys gapperi, and 4 tamias striatus was collected in connecticut and examined for babesia and grahamella during 1976 and 1977. babesia antibodies were detected in sera of 9 p. leucopus collected from 4 sites. babesia parasites were not detected in the blood smears of captured rodents. subsequent splenectomy and subinoculation of blood from these rodents into susceptible animals failed to induce disease and no babesia was ... | 1979 | 512755 |
| estrous cycle regulation in the whitefooted mouse (peromyscus leucopus) with special reference to vaginal cast formation. | the estrous cycle of the whitefooted mouse (peromyscus leucopus) was consistent with those described for most small rodents and closely resembled that of the house mouse and the rat in timing. the presence of the male did not accelerate puberty nor induce cycle synchrony, but was critical in establishing cycle regularity. females isolated from influences of males never attained a pattern of concistent cycle length. development of the vaginal epithelium during estrus was excessive in both isolate ... | 1978 | 564988 |
| statistical analysis of urinary delta-aminolevulinic acid (alau) excretion in the white-footed mouse associated with lead smelting. | alau in white-footed mice trapped in the vicinity of a lead smelter has been measured to study the biological effect of lead smelting operations and the rate at which the alau level diminishes after removing animals from contaminated environments. the statistical method which has been developed for this purpose shows that the alau levels are initially higher among animals near the smelter and diminish to a common level after 5-6 weeks. the statistical method is generally applicable to a variety ... | 1978 | 722203 |
| erythema chronicum migrans and lyme arthritis: field study of ticks. | ticks were collected during 1977 in communities east of the connecticut river where there was a high incidence of erythema chronicum migrans and lyme arthritis and were compared with collections from a similar area 20 km west of the river where cases of the disease were rare. ixodes scapularis was much more abundant on the east side than on the west. immature i. scapularis were 13 times more abundant on white-footed mice (peromyscus leucopus), and adult i. scapularis 16 times more abundant on wh ... | 1978 | 727201 |
