Design of the mammalian respiratory system. IX. Functional and structural limits for oxygen flow.
(1981-04)
This paper presents the synthesis and interpretation of a series of correlated studies of the mammalian respiratory system--measurements of maximal rate of O2 consumption, the lung's diffusing capacity, the mitochondrial ...
Effects of dehydration and heat stress on food intake and dry matter digestibility in East African ruminants
(2008)
Comparative investigations were made between wild and domestic ruminants from arid and semi-arid regions and those species from non-arid areas in an attempt to evaluate the adaptations of these ruminants in terms of the ...
Tissue metabolism and enzyme activities in the rodent Heterocephalus glaber, a poor temperature regulator.
(1977)
1. Tissue oxygen uptake and enzyme activities were investigated in the naked mole rat, Heterocephalus glaber, a mammal notable for its low body temperature and metabolism and poor temperature regulating ability. 2. Q10 for ...
Energy metabolism and heart rate during treadmill exercise in the Marabou stork.
(1980-09)
Oxygen consumption (VO2), heart rate, body temperature, and stride frequency were measured in Marabou storks walking on a treadmill at a range of speeds and gradients. VO2 was linearly related to speed at gradients up to ...
Analgesic Effects Of Cold Thermal Treatment. A Comparison With Pethidine And The Effects Of Naloxone B
(University of Nairobi, 1987)
Mechanical stresses in fast locomotion of buffalo (Syncews coffer) and elephant (Loxodonta africana)
(University of Nairobi, 2009-08-20)
Films of buffalo and elephant running, and detailed measurements on dissected legs, have been used to estimate the maximum stresses which occur in locomotion, in certain muscles, tendons and bones. These stresses are similar ...
Allometry of the legs of running birds
(University of Nairobi, 2009-08-20)
The principal bones, muscles and tendons of the legs have been measured in a selection of running birds, ranging in size from 0–1 kg quail to 40 kg ostrich. Maximum stride frequencies of the same species have been determined ...
Activation of micro, delta or kappa opioid receptors by DAMGO, DPDPE, U-50488 or U-69593 respectively causes antinociception in the formalin test in the naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber).
(University of Nairobi., 2009-02)
Data available on the role of the opioid systems of the naked mole-rat in nociception is scanty and unique compared to that of other rodents. In the current study, the effect of DAMGO, DPDPE and U-50488 and U-69593 on ...
Blood respiratory properties in the naked mole rat Heterocephalus glaber, a mammal of low body temperature.
(1976-12)
Respiratory properties of whole blood and Hb solutions have been studied in Heterocephalus glaber, a fossorial rodent, having a low body temperature (30.0-32.0 degrees C) and poor thermoregulatory ability. For comparison ...
