  Hamster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hamsters are sometimes used in lab experiments (because they can reproduce quickly), along with rats, mice, and many other rodents.
The best known species is the Syrian Hamster, also known as the Golden Hamster, Mesocricetus auratus, which is commonly kept as a pet.
Djungarian Hamster (Phodopus sungorus); two subspecies are recognised, the Siberian Hamster proper or White Russian Hamster (Phodopus sungorus sungorus), and Campbell's Dwarf Russian Hamster (Phodopus sungorus campbelli)

Golden hamsters, Mesocricetus auratus, collected from a burrow 8 feet deep in a wheat field near Aleppo, Syria, were established as a colony of laboratory animals at the Microbiological Institute of Jerusalem in 1930.
Colonies of the Romanian hamster, Mesocricetus neutoni, were established in Bucharest and used for research in cytogenetics and taxonomy (Hamar and Schutowa, 1966; Murphy, 1977; Popescu and DiPaolo, 1980).

The best known species is the Syrian Hamster, also known as the Golden Hamster (Small light-colored hamster often kept as a pet), Mesocricetus auratus, which is commonly kept as a pet (A domesticated animal kept for companionship or amusement).
Two other varieties of hamster are also growing in popularity as pets, the closely related Dwarf Campbell's Russian (additional info and facts about Dwarf Campbell's Russian) (Phodopus campbelli) and the Winter White Russian Hamsters (additional info and facts about Winter White Russian Hamsters) (P. sungorus).

Lipofuscin accumulation and hibernation in the Turkish hamster, Mesocricetus brandti.
This report is based on previous data that showed that Turkish hamsters that hibernated lived longer than nonhibernating controls.
It was calculated that the total amount of pigment accumulated during a life span was the same in both groups, in spite of the longer life of the hibernators.

They were a bit bigger than the ones Waterhouse found, so they were named Mesocricetus auratus, although they were probably the same species.
Mesocricetus auratus is the name that Syrian hamsters go by today.
Descendants of these hamsters were shipped to scientific labs around the world, for use as research animals.

The thermogenic capacity of brown fat from neonatal and developing hamsters was investigated.

 APStracts 4:0203R, 1997.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-03)
The Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) has been widely used as an experimental animal and is a unique model for three sex hormone regulated events: 1) estrogen initiated renal carcinogenesis, 2) sex limited expression of amyloidosis, a ubiquitous disease, and 3) sex hormone control of a serum amyloid P component (SAP) called Female Protein (FP).
On the other hand, in contrast to findings in the Syrian hamster, hepatic tumors were relatively common in normal and especially in estrogen treated Turkish hamsters.
Therefore, although closely related, these two mesocricetus hamster species have markedly dissimilar responses to sex hormones.

The surviving hamsters were taken to the Zoological Institute of Jerusalem, where they multiplied so rapidly that by the end of the year their population had increased to 300!
It was then that they were given the scientific name Mesocricetus auratus (their current scientific name), that means medium-sized golden hamster.
In 1931, young hamsters were shipped to the United States Public Health Service Research Center at Carville, Louisiana, where they were used in research.
