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)
Design of the mammalian respiratory system. III Scaling maximum aerobic capacity to body mass: wild and domestic mammals.
(1981-04)
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the maximal rate of oxygen consumption (Vo2max) is scaled proportionally to Mb1.0, as the diffusing capacity of the lung, or proportionally to Mb0.75, as the standardized ...

Nutrient digestibility and gastrointestinal electrolyte flux in the elephant and rhinoceros
(1983)
Nutrient digestibility and absorption-secretion were studied in elephants and rhinoceros.
2. Prehension and diet selection are discussed.
3. Rhinoceros select less fiber, which may account for their greater digestive ...
Sodium balance in the catfish Clarias mossambicus exposed to acid water
(University of Nairobi, 1983-08)
African catfish, Clarias mossambicus showed no ill effects when kept in acid water pH 4–5 for 3–4 days. Their ionic regulatory response was examined and during 24 h exposure to water of pH 4, Na+ efflux increased significantly ...
Design of the mammalian respiratory system. II. Measuring maximum aerobic capacity.
(1981-04)
We describe a simple and reproducible procedure for measuring maximal O2 consumption (Vo2max) that can be used for mammals spanning a wide range of body mass (Mb). Vo2 of trained animals was measured as a function of speed ...
Studies on renal excretion of potassium in the dik-dik antelope.
(Elsevier Science Ltd, 1988)
1. In a study on the renal handling of potassium by the dik-dik antelope, plasma and urine samples were analysed for potassium, sodium and creatinine concentrations and osmolality during dehydration and intra-ruminal loading ...
The relationship between rate of oxygen consumption, heart rate and thermal conductance of the dik-dik antelope (Rhynchotragus kirkii) at various ambient temperatures.
(1982)
1. The extent of cardiovascular adjustments to heat and cold were investigated between ambient temperatures of 5 and 45 degrees C by measuring conductance and the rates of oxygen consumption and heart beats. 2. Minimum ...
