Circannual control of hibernation by HP complex in the brain.
TL;DR: It is suggested that HP, a target of endogenously generated circannual rhythm, carries hormonal signals essential for hibernation to the brain, and blocking brain HP activity using an antibody decreases the duration of hibernation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium source for excitation-contraction coupling in myocardium of nonhibernating and hibernating chipmunks
Noriaki Kondo,Shoji Shibata +1 more
TL;DR: The amplitude of the early plateau phase of the action potential and the slow action potential of cardiac muscle were much lower in hibernating chipmunks than in nonhibernatingChipmunks, suggesting that the respective roles of the sources of calcium for cardiac excitation-contraction coupling are changed during hibernation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of multiple α1-antitrypsin-like genes in hibernating species of the squirrel family

TL;DR: Genomic Southern blot analysis and screening of a liver cDNA library from another hibernating squirrel species, the ground squirrel, also revealed expression of multiple members of the alpha1-AT gene family, whereas analysis of a c DNA library from a non-hibernating species,the tree squirrel, found only a singlealpha1- AT gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
HNF‐4 plays a pivotal role in the liver‐specific transcription of thechipmunk HP‐25 gene
Miho Kojima,Nobuhiko Takamatsu,Nobuhiko Takamatsu,Tomoko Ishii,Noriaki Kondo,Tadayoshi Shiba +5 more
TL;DR: The gene for chipmunk hibernation-specific protein HP-25 is expressed specifically in the liver, and HNF-4 plays an important role in transcriptional regulation and 5' flanking region, indicating that H NF-4 play an important roles in HP- 25 gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison between effects of caffeine and ryanodine on electromechanical coupling in myocardium of hibernating chipmunks: role of internal Ca stores
TL;DR: In cardiac muscles of hibernating animals, lack of the positive inotropic effect of isoprenaline may be attributed to a rapid and effective sequestration of increased cytoplasmic Ca through Ca influx by internal stores, probably by enhancement of their ability to take up Ca.
