Striped Hamster Photoperiod and cAMP Signaling Data for Follicle Development

Huiliang Xue's dataset from a 2026 figshare upload contains experimental results on photoperiod effects in striped hamsters. The 10.5 KB XLSX file likely includes measurements of serum hormones (FSH, LH, cAMP), ovarian cAMP concentrations, and gene expression levels for GPR3, ADCY5, PDE1A, and PDE3A. The data supports the conclusion that the cAMP signaling pathway mediates photoperiod-induced follicle development.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between photoperiod length and hormone levels (FSH, LH, cAMP) based on ELISA assay data.
• Investigate gene expression patterns of core cAMP pathway factors (GPR3, ADCY5, PDE1A, PDE3A) based on qPCR results.
• Model the relationship between cAMP signaling and ovarian follicle development stages based on histological assessments.
• Identify potential molecular targets for rodent population control based on the identified core pathway factors.

Strengths

• Data is derived from controlled experiments with three distinct photoperiod conditions (LP, MP, SP).
• Includes multiple measurement types: transcriptome sequencing, ELISA assays for hormones, and qPCR for gene expression.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (10.5 KB), indicating limited scope and likely a summary or key results table.
• Geographic origin of the striped hamster subjects and exact temporal coverage of the experiment are unknown.
