Pakistan Journal of Zoology, 2022 pathway Thermogenic function of brown adipose tissue (BAT) was known to be markedly elevated when animals were exposed to the cold. In the present study, transcriptome sequencing of BAT in Tupaia belangeri between control and cold acclimation group were ...

Coalescent-based genome analyses resolve the early branches of the euarchontoglires [PDF]
, 2013 Despite numerous large-scale phylogenomic studies, certain parts of the mammalian tree are extraordinarily difficult to resolve. We used the coding regions from 19 completely sequenced genomes to study the relationships within the super-clade ...

Recent and rapid ecogeographical rule reversals in Northern Treeshrews
Scientific Reports, 2022 Two of the most-studied ecogeographical rules describe patterns of body size variation within species. Bergmann’s rule predicts that individuals have larger body sizes in colder climates (typically at higher latitudes), and the island rule predicts that ...

Tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) as a novel laboratory disease animal model. [PDF]
Zool Res, 2017 The tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) is a promising laboratory animal that possesses a closer genetic relationship to primates than to rodents. In addition, advantages such as small size, easy breeding, and rapid reproduction make the tree shrew an ideal ...

Creating animal models, why not use the Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis)? [PDF]
Zool Res, 2017 The Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis), a squirrel-like and rat-sized mammal, has a wide distribution in Southeast Asia, South and Southwest China and has many unique characteristics that make it suitable for use as an experimental animal ...

Preliminary observations on experimental leprosy in tupaias (Tupaia belangeri yunalis)
Leprosy Review, 1990 The Tupaia belangeri yunalis (tree shrew) is one of the primitive primates. They were inoculated subcutaneously in the footpad or intravenously with Mycobacterium leprae from a patient with multibacillary leprosy. As controls, the footpads of CFW mice were inoculated with the same suspension of M. leprae. The results showed growth of acid-fast bacilli (

Tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri) exhibit novelty preference in the novel location memory task with 24-h retention periods [PDF]
, 2014 Novelty preference is pervasive in mammalian species, and describes an inherent tendency to preferentially explore novelty. The novel location memory task studied here assesses the ability of animals to form accurate memories of a spatial configuration ...

Euarchontan opsin variation brings new focus to primate origins [PDF]
, 2016 Debate on the adaptive origins of primates has long focused on the functional ecology of the primate visual system. For example, it is hypothesized that variable expression of short- (SWS1) and middle-to-long-wavelength sensitive (M/LWS) opsins, which ...

Requirement of Activation for Hepatitis B Virus Infection [PDF]
, 2007 Although _in vitro_ models of human hepatitis B virus replication are established, so far none could approximate infection efficiency as expected from _in vivo_ observations.
