A Monomeric Insulin From the Porcupine (Hystrix cristata), an Old World Hystricomorph
Nature, 1980The insulins of New World hystricomorph rodents exhibit many novel amino acid changes in primary structure when compared with other mammalian insulins. These changes give rise to unusual properties (low potency, failure to self-associate) not shared by other naturally-occurring insulins.

Urine composition of some hystricomorph rodents confined to metabolism cages
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1972Abstract 1. 1. A comparison was made of the composition of urine from six species of hystricomorphs (chinchilla, plains viscacha, degu, cuis, native guinea-pig and domestic guinea-pig) maintained under laboratory conditions. 2. 2. All species produced moderate amounts of hypertonic urine and daily rhythms in water and electrolyte excretion ...

Coypu Insulin. Primary Structure, Conformation and Biological Properties of a Hystricomorph Rodent Insulin [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1986 Insulin from a hystricomorph rodent, coypu (Myocaster coypus), was isolated and purified to near homogeneity. Like the other insulins that have been characterized in this Suborder of Rodentia, coypu insulin also exhibits a very low (3%) biological potency, relative to pig insulin, on lipogenesis in isolated rat fat-cells.

STUDIES ON THE ENDOPARASITIC FAUNA OF TRINIDAD MAMMALS: VII. PARASITES OF HYSTRICOMORPH RODENTS
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1951A possible new variety of cestode, Raillietina (R.) demerariensis var. trinitatae, and two new varieties, Trichuris gracilis var. trinitatae and Aspidodera binansata var. agoutiae and a new species of nematode, Helminthoxys urichi are recorded from the agouti and lappe from Trinidad, B.W.I.

Pulmonary trophoblastic deportation in the hystricomorph rodent Lagostomus maximus
PlacentaTrophoblast has been reported in the lungs of gestating eutherian mammals with hemochorial placenta, including humans, cotton rats, and American hares. This study describes the discovery of trophoblastic-like cells in the lungs of Lagostomus maximus.Lung and placenta samples from non-pregnant and pregnant plains viscachas were analyzed using histology ...

Little is known about the distribution of binding sites for the pineal hormone melatonin in non-myomorph rodents. We used 2-[125I]iodomelatonin (IMEL) to analyze the distribution, affinity, and specificity of binding sites in the golden-mantled ground squirrel, a sciurid rodent that reportedly lacks IMEL binding sites in the brain. Specific binding was
