The consequences of acute cold exposure on protein oxidation and proteasome activity in short-tailed field voles, microtus agrestis.
During cold exposure, animals upregulate their metabolism and food intake, potentially exposing them to elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and oxidative damage. We investigated whether acute cold (7 +/- 3 degrees C) exposure (1, 10, or 100 h duration) affected protein oxidation and proteasome activity, when compared to warm controls (22 +/- 3 degrees C), in a small mammal model, ...
متن کاملThe impact of experimentally elevated energy expenditure on oxidative stress and lifespan in the short-tailed field vole Microtus agrestis.
Life-history theory assumes that animal life histories are a consequence of trade-offs between current activities and future reproductive performance or survival, because resource supply is limited. Empirical evidence for such trade-offs in the wild are common, yet investigations of the underlying mechanisms are rare. Life-history trade-offs may have both physiological and ecological mediated c...
متن کاملChanges over time in the spatiotemporal dynamics of cyclic populations of field voles (Microtus agrestis L.).
We demonstrate changes over time in the spatial and temporal dynamics of an herbivorous small rodent by analyzing time series of population densities obtained at 21 locations on clear cuts within a coniferous forest in Britain from 1984 to 2004. Changes had taken place in the amplitude, periodicity, and synchrony of cycles and density-dependent feedback on population growth rates. Evidence for ...
متن کاملPeromyscus leucopus and Microtus pennsylvanicus simultaneously infected with Borrelia burgdorferi and Babesia microti.
Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiologic agent of Lyme disease, and Babesia microti, the causative agent of human babesiosis, were isolated from 71 and 57%, respectively, of 14 specimens of Peromyscus leucopus and Microtus pennsylvanicus collected from Prudence and Patience Islands, R.I. Both pathogens were isolated from five individual rodents. The presence of these two infectious organisms in the ...
متن کاملThe effect of mating upon LH release in male and female voles of the species Microtus agrestis.
Members of the microtine species are probably reflex ovulators. The prairie vole, Microtus ochrogaster (Richmond & Conway, 1969), the meadow vole, M. pennsylvanicus (Clulow & Mallory, 1970), the levant vole, M. guentheri (Bodenheimer & Sulman, 1946), the Californian vole, M. californicus (Greenwald, 1956), and the montane vole, Microtus montanus (Gray, Davis, Zerylnick & Dewsbury, 1974) have al...
