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 ...
Renal function and electrolyte balance during dehydration in the hyrax
(University of Nairobi, 1976-09)
The rock hyrax has been shown to have a very unusual and complex digestive tract. The gastrointestinal tract is comparable to that of the simple and complex stomach of mammals as well as to that of birds. Determinations ...
Fermentative digestion of food in the colobus monkey, Colobus, polykomos.
(1976-04)
Fermentation of leafy food occurs in the enlarged saccus gastricus of the colobus monkey with the formation of volatile fatty acid, as in the rumen of ruminant animals. About half of the digestible organic matter and ...
Evaporative water loss in two small African antelopes: the dik-dik and the suni
(1976)
1.
1. In controlled laboratory experiments pulmocutaneous water loss, respiratory rate, rectal and skin temperatures of the dik-dik (Rhynchotragus Kirkii) and the suni (Nesotragus moschatus) were measured before and ...

Respiratory properties of blood in awake and estivating lungfish, Protopterus amphibius.
(1976-09)
Blood respiratory properties have been studied in awake and estivating African lungfish, Protopterus amphibius. Fish had been estivating 28-30 months when blood was sampled. Hematocrit, O2 capacity and blood hemoglobin ...
Importance of air and water breathing in relation to size of the African lungfish Protopterus amphibius Peters.
(1976)
1. Oxygen uptakes from air and water have been measured in relation to weight of the African lungfish Protopterus amphibius Peters. 2. Combined O2 uptake from air and water ranged from 60 ml O2 kg-1 h-1 STPD, in a 3-7 g ...
