Metabolic Rate of Tree-Shrews (Urogale everetti)

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1962
SummaryThe oxygen consumption of 32 Philippine tree-shrews was 0.87 ± 0.02 ec/g body wt/hr (mean and standard error). Expressed as Standard Metabolic Rate, this represented 29.7 ± 0.8 Cal/sq m body surface/hr, a value corresponding to that of laboratory rats of comparable weight and maturity. No sex difference was observed.

Analysis of the molecular characteristics and cloning of full-length coding sequence of Interleukin-2 in tree shrews

, 2013
While the tree shrew ( Tupaia belangeri chinensis ) is an excellent animal model for studying the mechanisms of human diseases, but few studies examine interleukin-2 (IL-2), an important immune factor in disease model evaluation. In this study, a 465 bp
