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)
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 ...
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 ...

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 ...
