Eothenomys miletus research

In order to investigate the effects of different areas on intestinal bacterial diversity and body mass regulation in Eothenomys miletus from Hengduan mountain regions, and to explore the community structure and diversity of intestinal microflora and their role in body mass regulation. E. miletus was collected from five areas including Deqin (DQ), Xianggelila (XGLL), Lijiang (LJ), Jianchuan (JC) and Dali (DL), we used 16SrRNA sequencing technology combined with physiological and morphological methods to study the intestinal microbiota diversity, abundance and community structure of the intestinal bacteria in winter, and to explore the influence of geographical factors, physiological indicators including food intake, resting metabolic rate (RMR), non-shivering thermogenesisg (NST), neuropeptide Y (NPY), Agouti-Related Protein (AgRP) proopiomelanocortin (POMC), cocaine and amphetamine regulated transcription peptide (CART), and morphological indicators including body mass, body length and other 9 indicators on the intestinal microflora diversity in E. miletus
