Preference of IRES-mediated initiation of translation during hibernation in golden-mantled ground squirrels, Spermophilus lateralis.
Mammalian hibernation involves virtual cessation of energetically consumptive processes normally vital to homeostasis, including gene transcription and protein synthesis. As animals enter torpor, the bulk of initiation of translation is blocked at a body temperature of 18°C in golden-mantled ground squirrels [Spermophilus (Callospermophilus) lateralis]. Previous data demonstrated regulation of ...
متن کاملBile constituents in hibernating golden-mantled ground squirrels (Spermophilus lateralis)
BACKGROUND Golden-mantled ground squirrels (S. lateralis) are anorexic during the winter and survive by exploiting hibernation to reduce energetic demands. The liver normally plays a critical role in fueling and regulating metabolism and one might expect significant changes in hepatobiliary function with hibernation. We analyzed bile collected from animals in summer, animals in winter that were...
متن کاملMyosin isoform expression and MAFbx mRNA levels in hibernating golden-mantled ground squirrels (Spermophilus lateralis).
Hibernating mammals present many unexplored opportunities for the study of muscle biology. The hindlimb muscles of a small rodent hibernator (Spermophilus lateralis) atrophy slightly during months of torpor, representing a reduction in the disuse atrophy commonly seen in other mammalian models. How torpor affects contractile protein expression is unclear; therefore, we examined the myosin heavy...
متن کاملIncreased heat loss affects hibernation in golden-mantled ground squirrels.
During hibernation at ambient temperatures (T(a)) above 0 degrees C, rodents typically maintain body temperature (T(b)) approximately 1 degrees C above T(a), reduce metabolic rate, and suspend or substantially reduce many physiological functions. We tested the extent to which the presence of an insulative pelage affects hibernation. T(b) was recorded telemetrically in golden-mantled ground squi...
متن کاملTestosterone influences hibernation in golden-mantled ground squirrels.
At different phases of the hibernation season, castrated male golden-mantled ground squirrels were implanted with capsules that either were filled with testosterone (T) or left empty (blank). Blank-treated animals hibernated normally when housed at 5 degrees C. Entry into hibernation was prevented in the majority of squirrels treated with T several days before the initial cold challenge. T conc...
