Cardiorespiratory and metabolic reactions during entrance into torpor in dormice, Glis glis.
Dormice voluntarily enter torpor at ambient temperatures ranging between 0-28 degrees C. This study describes heart rate, ventilation frequency, O2-consumption (defined as metabolic rate), CO2-production and body temperature during entrance into torpor. Their temporal relationship was analysed during the time course of metabolic depression at different ambient temperatures. Body temperature and...
متن کاملComparative morphology of incisor enamel and dentin in humans and fat dormice (Glis glis).
The structure of teeth in all living beings is genetically predetermined, although it can change under external physiological and pathological factors. The author's hypothesis was to indicate evolutional shifts resulting from genetic, functional and other differences. A comparative study about certain characteristics of incisors in humans and myomorpha, the fat dormouse (Glis glis) being their ...
متن کاملTelomere dynamics in free-living edible dormice (Glis glis): the impact of hibernation and food supply
We studied the impact of hibernation and food supply on relative telomere length (RTL), an indicator for aging and somatic maintenance, in free-living edible dormice. Small hibernators such as dormice have ∼50% higher maximum longevity than non-hibernators. Increased longevity could theoretically be due to prolonged torpor directly slowing cellular damage and RTL shortening. However, although m...
متن کاملGlis glis (Rodentia: Gliridae)
Glis glis (Linnaeus, 1766) is a glirid commonly called the fat or edible dormouse. It is the largest dormouse and the only species in the genus Glis. Range mainly overlaps with a deciduous and mixed forest zone in Europe and southwestern Asia. Principal habitat is deciduous and mixed woodland and the species is strictly nocturnal. G. glis is unusual among small rodents in its long life expectan...
متن کاملTelomeres are elongated in older individuals in a hibernating rodent, the edible dormouse (Glis glis)
Telomere shortening is thought to be an important biomarker for life history traits such as lifespan and aging, and can be indicative of genome integrity, survival probability and the risk of cancer development. In humans and other animals, telomeres almost always shorten with age, with more rapid telomere attrition in short-lived species. Here, we show that in the edible dormouse (Glis glis) t...
