zapode des bois : zapode remplace souris-sauteuse afin d'alléger le nom, de marquer la différence de cette famille (Dipodidae) distincte, et de restreindre autant que possible le mot souris à la famille des Muridae.

  • Biochemistry

CONT

We now report the discovery of a gene tightened regulation of cancer that codes for a novel uncoupling protein, designated UCP2, which has 59% for physicians and patients amino-acid identity to UCP1, and describe properties consistent with a role in diabetes and obesity. In comparison with UCP1, UCP2 has a greater effect on mitochondrial membrane potential when expressed in yeast. Compared to UCP1, the gene is widely expressed in adult human tissues, including tissues rich in macrophages, and it is upregulated in white fat in response to fat feeding. Finally, UCP2 maps to regions of human chromosome 11 and mouse chromosome 7 that have been linked to hyperinsulinaemia and obesity. Our findings suggest that UCP2 has a unique role in energy balance, body weight regulation and thermoregulation and their responses to inflammatory stimuli.

The deer mouse derives its name from its bi-coloured coat, rufus above and white below, which resembles the coat of a deer. This is the ubiquitous native mouse. Away from city centres it may be found practically everywhere in Canada from Nova Scotia to Vancouver Island and from the international boundary north to Yukon Territory and Hudson Bay.... The form of the deer mouse is typically murine, with a slender body, well-developed hind legs and a moderately long tail.

OBS

A mammal of the family Muridae.

Le groupe des souris sylvestres, répandu sur tout le continent nord-américain, comprend au moins quarante sous-espèces dont six se rencontrent au Québec. La forme type [...] habite vers le nord jusqu'à la limite de la forêt septentrionale. Facile à identifier par ses quatre pattes blanches, ses parties supérieures grisâtres et sa queue bicolore, elle a la taille d'une souris ordinaire, de grandes oreilles et des yeux dont l'immensité trahit des habitudes nocturnes.
