Bodyweight, locomotion, and behavioral responses of the naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber) to lipopolysaccharide administration

Kisipan, Mosiany L.; Ojoo, Rodi O.; Kanui, Titus I.; Abelson, Klas S. (Springer, 2022-06-22)

The naked mole rat has unique biologic characteristics that include atypical inflammatory responses. Lipopolysaccharide induces inflammation which triggers brain centers controlling feeding, and behavior to result in “sick ...
Fasting in the ureotelic Lake Magadi tilapia, Alcolapia grahami, does not reduce its high metabolic demand, increasing its vulnerability to siltation events

De Boeck, Gudrun; Wood, Chris M.; Brix, Kevin V.; Sinha, Amit K.; Matey, Victoria; Johannsson, Ora E.; Bianchini, Adalto; Maina, John N.; Kavembe, Geraldine D.; Papah, Michael B.; Kisipan, Mosiany L.; Ojoo, Rodi O. (Oxford University Press, 2019-10)

Lake Magadi, Kenya, is one of the most extreme aquatic environments on Earth (pH~10, anoxic to hyperoxic, high temperatures). Recently, increased water demand and siltation have threatened the viable hot springs near the ...
Imiquimod does not elicit inflammatory responses in the skin of the naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber)

Kisipan, Mosiany L.; Ojoo, Rodi O.; Kanui, Titus I.; Abelson, Klas S. P. (BMC, 2020-09-05)

Objective Naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber) has recently attracted interest in biomedical research due to its exceptional longevity, cancer resistance and tolerance to potentially harmful conditions or stimuli. Given ...
Lake Magadi ecosystem: current research trends and future perspectives

Kavembe, Geraldine D.; Papah, Michael B.; Kisia, Seth M.; Ojoo, Rodi O.; Wood, Chris M.; Maina, John; Johannsso, Ora E.; De Boeck, Gudrun; Bianchini, Adalto; Brix, Kevin; Letura, Kisipan M.; Bianchini, Lucas F.; Onyango, Daniel W. (2015-02-03)

The Magadi tilapia, Alcolapia grahami, a small cichlid fish of Lake Magadi, Kenya lives in one of the most challenging aquatic environments on earth, characterized by very high alkalinity, unusual water chemistry, and ...
Metabolism and antioxidant defense in the larval chironomid Tanytarsus minutipalpus: Adjustments to diel variations in the extreme conditions of Lake Magadi

Kavembe, Geraldine D.; Bianchini, Lucas F.; Wood, Chris M.; Bergman, Harold L.; Johannsson, Ora E.; Laurent, Pierre; Chevalier, Claudine; Kisipan, Mosiany L.; Papah, Michael B.; Brix, Kevin V.; Boeck, Gudrun De; Maina, John N.; Ojoo, Rodi O.; Bianchini, Adalto (The Company of Biologists Ltd, 2016)

Insect larvae are reported to be a major component of the simple but highly productive trophic web found in Lake Magadi (Kenya, Africa), which is considered to be one of the most extreme aquatic environments on Earth. ...
Rh proteins and NH4(+)-activated Na+-ATPase in the Magadi tilapia (Alcolapia grahami), a 100% ureotelic teleost fish.

Kavembe, Geraldine D.; Wood, Chris M.; Nawata, Michele C.; Wilson, Jonathan M.; Laurent, Pierre; Chevalier, Claudine; Bergman, Harold L.; Bianchini, Adalto; Maina, John N.; Johannsson, Ora E.; Bianchini, Lucas F.; Papah, Michael B.; Ojoo, Rodi O. (Company of Biologists, 2013-08-15)

The small cichlid fish Alcolapia grahami lives in Lake Magadi, Kenya, one of the most extreme aquatic environments on Earth (pH ~10, carbonate alkalinity ~300 mequiv l−1). The Magadi tilapia is the only 100% ureotelic ...
Sizes, condition factors and sex ratios of the scattered populations of the small cichlid fish, Alcolapia grahami, that inhabits the lagoons and sites of Lake Magadi (Kenya), one of the most extreme aquatic habitat on Earth

Maina, John N.; Kavembe, Geraldine D.; Papah, Michael B.; Mashiteng, Reatlegile; Wood, Chris M.; Bianchini, Adalto; Bianchini, Lucas F.; Bergman, Harold L.; Johannsson, Ora E.; Laurent, Piere; Chevalier, Claudine; Ojoo, Rodi O. (Springer Netherlands, 2019-08)
