Goniurosaurus is a genus of geckos in the family Eublepharidae. The genus contains 27 species. Members species are known by various common names including cave geckos, ground geckos, leopard geckos, and tiger geckos. Members of this genus are found in China, Japan, and Vietnam. For this reason they are also known commonly as Asian geckos.
Leopard geckos were first described as a species by zoologist Edward Blyth in 1854 as Eublepharis macularius. [1] The generic name Eublepharis is a combination of the Greek words eu (good) and blepharos (eyelid), as having eyelids is the primary characteristic that distinguishes members of this subfamily from other geckos, along with a lack of lamellae.
Goniurosaurus catbaensis, also known as the Cat Ba leopard gecko or Cat Ba tiger gecko is a gecko endemic to Cát Bà Island in Vietnam. [2] References
Dose for dose it is roughly ten times more potent than morphine, with 1 mg desomorphine being equivalent 10 mg morphine, via the intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) routes. [ 10 ] Desomorphine is a morphine analogue where the 6-hydroxyl group and the 7,8 double bond have been reduced. [ 8 ]
This analgesic activity of M6G (in animals) was first noted by Yoshimura. [5]Subsequent work at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London in the 1980s, [6] using a sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatography assay, [7] accurately defined for the first time the metabolism of morphine, and the abundance of this metabolite (along with morphine-3-glucuronide, [8] considered an inactive ...
The toes do not have adhesive lamellae or membranes (Eublepharis cannot climb like their other gecko cousins). [1] [page needed] Like all members of Eublepharidae, they are primarily nocturnal. [1] [page needed] [2] Included in this group is the popular pet leopard gecko Eublepharis macularius. [1] [page needed]
Acute use (1–3 days) yields a potency about 1.5× stronger than that of morphine and chronic use (7 days+) yields a potency about 2.5 to 5× that of morphine. Similarly, the effect of tramadol increases after consecutive dosing due to the accumulation of its active metabolite and an increase of the oral bioavailability in chronic use.
The Afghan leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius afghanicus) is one of the five subspecies of the common leopard gecko, a small lizard belonging to the family Eublepharidae. [1] This subspecies was first discovered by entomologist Carl Julius Bernhard Börner in 1976. It is much smaller than other leopard gecko subspecies.
