Complex patterns of tooth replacement revealed in the fruit bat (Eidolon helvum) [PDF]

Journal of Anatomy, 2016
AbstractHow teeth are replaced during normal growth and development has long been an important question for comparative and developmental anatomy. Non‐standard model animals have become increasingly popular in this field due to the fact that the canonical model laboratory mammal, the mouse, develops only one generation of teeth (monophyodonty), whereas

Fibre Interplay in the Pregnant Uterus of the Frugivorous Bat Eidolon Helvum [PDF]

Journal of Morphological Sciences, 2018
Introduction There is currently a lack of adequate information on the mating, reproduction and the reproductive anatomy of the frugivorous bat Eidolon helvum. We, therefore, investigated their uterus during the non-pregnant and pregnant states for adequate information and comparison between the two states to ascertain what histological ...

Presence of Rhodanese in the Cytosolic Fraction of the Fruit Bat (Eidolon helvum) Liver [PDF]

BMB Reports, 2004
Rhodanese was isolated and purified from the cytosolic fraction of liver tissue homogenate of the fruit bat, Eidolon helvum, by using ammonium sulphate precipitation and CM-Sephadex C-50 ion exchange chromatography. The specific activity was increased 130-fold with a 53% recovery.
