...Sulayman A. Lyons; Grant B. McClelland ABSTRACT During maximal cold challenge (cold-induced V̇ O 2 ,max ) in hypoxia, highland deer mice ( Peromyscus maniculatus ) show higher rates of circulatory fatty acid delivery compared with lowland deer mice. Fatty acid delivery also increases...

...Sulayman A. Lyons; Grant B. McClelland ABSTRACT Highland native deer mice ( Peromyscus maniculatus ) have greater rates of lipid oxidation during maximal cold challenge in hypoxia (hypoxic cold-induced V̇ O 2 ,max ) compared with their lowland conspecifics. Lipid oxidation is also increased in deer...

... that highland deer mice ( Peromyscus maniculatus ) overcome the hypoxic inhibition of NST through changes in BAT mitochondrial function. We tested this hypothesis using lab born and raised highland and lowland deer mice, and a lowland congeneric ( Peromyscus leucopus ), acclimated to either warm normoxia (25°C...

... or environmentally induced acclimatization responses (phenotypic plasticity). Here, we report measurements of hematological traits related to blood–O 2 transport in populations of deer mice ( Peromyscus maniculatus ) that are native to high- and low-altitude environments. We conducted a common-garden breeding...

...Enrico L. Rezende; Kimberly A. Hammond; Mark A. Chappell SUMMARY We studied metabolic and organ mass responses to thermal acclimation (7 weeks at 5°C or 23°C) in deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus . Cold acclimation resulted in significantly higher maximal oxygen consumption in thermogenesis (V̇ O 2...

... maximal oxygen consumption metabolism Peromyscus maniculatus wheel-running Over the past three decades, exercise and environmental physiologists have painstakingly described the energetics of locomotion in a wide range of animals. In quadrupedal mammals running at near-thermoneutral...

... physiology changes throughout acclimation, and how individuals vary in their response to acclimation, remain poorly understood. Here we describe a high temporal-resolution study of cold acclimation in the deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus . The experimental design was based on repeated measures at short...

..., aerobic performance and ventilation in deer mice Peromyscus maniculatus . This species lives considerably longer in captivity (in excess of 5 years) than most laboratory rodents, and the adaptational biology of its aerobic physiology is well studied. Our deer mice grew throughout life,and, as is typical...

... that intraperitoneal implantation of metabolically inert mass results in a compensatory reduction in tissue mass. Deer mice ( Peromyscus maniculatus ) were surgically implanted with weights of 1, 2 or 3 g. There was a resulting loss of tissue mass (total body mass minus implant mass) that was proportional to the mass...

...Liisa A. M. Galea; Martin Kavaliers; Klaus-Peter Ossenkopp ABSTRACT A number of studies examining developmental, neural and hormonal aspects of sexually dimorphic spatial learning (Morris water-maze) in meadow voles ( Microtus pennsylvanicus ) and deer mice ( Peromyscus maniculatus ) are described...
