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 ...
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 ...
Stomach fermentation in East African Colobus monkeys in their natural state
(1974-04)
The microbial fermentation in the stomachs of two monkeys, Colobus polykomos, collected in Kenya, was studied. The gas accumulated within the stomach contained H(2) but no CH(4). Volatile fatty acid concentrations were ...
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 ...
pH, Salinity and Temperature Tolerance of Lake Magadi Tilapia
(University of Nairobi, 1974-01)
THERE are several species of Tilapia isolated in the alkaline lakes of
the Great Rift Valley of Africa, living in extreme conditions of
temperature, salinity and pH. One of these fish, the Lake Magadi Tilapia
(Tilapia ...
A comparison of digestion in red deer and sheep under controlled conditions
(University of Nairobi, 1971-11)
Three red deer hinds and three sheep were given rations of chopped or pelleted hays. The deer apparently digested dry matter and cellulose a little less well than the sheep. Digestibility of nitrogen did not differ.
In ...
Temperature regulation in the somali donkey (Equus asinus).
(University of Nairobi, 1978-08)
In controlled laboratory experiments the metabolic rate, body temperature, respiratory, sweat and heart rates were measured in adult donkeys weighing between 125 and 180 kg.At high ambient temperatures Ta (40–50°C) the ...
