Comparison of Nonshivering Thermogenesis Induced by Norepinephrine Stress in Tree Shrews [PDF]
Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2013 Nonshivering thermogenesis (NST)is an important thermogenic mechanism for small mammals. Quantitative measurement of NST is usually stimulated by injection of norepinephrine.

Variations of Endocrine Hormones Concentrations in Tupaia belangeri under Simulated Seasonal Acclimatized: Role of Leptin Sensitivity [PDF]
Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2013 Seasonal variations in endocrine hormones concentrations are important for the survival of small mammals during acclimatization. In order to understand the role of leptin sensitivity on other endocrine hormones concentrations, we examined body mass ...

Microsatellite analysis of genetic diversity in the Tupaia belangeri yaoshanensis. [PDF]
Biomed Rep, 2017 The Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri yaoshanensis) has long been proposed to serve as an animal model for studying human diseases. However, its overall genetic diversity and population structure remain largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the genetic diversity of population microsatellite DNA in wild Tupaia belangeri yaoshanensis.

Neural Progenitors in the Developing Neocortex of the Northern Tree Shrew (Tupaia belangeri) Show a Closer Relationship to Gyrencephalic Primates Than to Lissencephalic Rodents [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2018 The neocortex is the most complex part of the mammalian brain and as such it has undergone tremendous expansion during evolution, especially in primates.
