The management and breeding of some more hystricomorph rodents [PDF]
Laboratory Animals, 1970 The caging, feeding and handling in our laboratory of 4 unusual hystricomorph rodents are described. These animals are: the wild guinea-pigs, or cuis ( Cavia aperea and Galea musteloides), the degu ( Octodon degus), and the plains viscacha ( Lagostomus maximus). The species were obtained for investigation of their reproduction and some details of this

Progesterone-binding proteins in plasma of guinea-pigs and other hystricomorph rodents [PDF]
Reproduction, 1981 Progesterone-binding plasma proteins (PBPP, progesterone-binding globulin, PBG, and corticosteroid binding globulin, CBG) have been measured in plasma of guinea-pigs, casiragua, cuis, degu and plains viscacha. During pregnancy PBPP increased to reach peak values between Days 20-25 and Days 50-term in guinea-pigs, immediately before parturition in ...

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.

Embryonic-placental relationship in Lagostomus maximus as compared to other hystricognath rodents and eutherian mammals [PDF]
, 2023 Reproductive specializations in caviomorphs (infraorder Hystricognathi), are very peculiar within the Order Rodentia. These include long gestations, the birth of offspring with an extreme degree of precociality, and short lactation periods.

Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.
