| adrenal glands in small smooth-tailed tree shrew (dendrogale murina). | adrenal glands of small smooth-tailed tree shrews (dendrogale murina), four males and two females, caught and fixed in thailand were observed macroscopically and histologically. they were located at the cranio-medial sides of the kidney. they were elongated in shape and consisted of a cortex and medulla. the cortex could be subdivided into three zones by the cell arrangement and the morphology of nuclei, cytoplasm and cell strands, like in other mammalian species. the tree shrew seemed to share ... | 2001 | 11769551 |
| a lectin-histochemical study on the seminiferous epithelium of the northern smooth-tailed tree shrew (dendrogale murina) and the java tree shrew (tupaia javanica). | lectin-binding patterns in the testes of the northern smooth-tailed tree shrew, dendrogale murina and java tree shrew, tupaia javanica were studied by light microscopy and compared the data with those of the common tree shrew. four lectins (pna, sba, bpa and gs-ii) were used in this study. peanut (arachis hypogaea) agglutinin (pna), soybean (glycine max) agglutinin (sba) and bauhinia purpurea agglutinin (bpa) showed a strong reaction in the acrosomal region from golgi to acrosome-phase spermatid ... | 2000 | 10998938 |
| immunohistochemical localization of inhibin and steroidogenic enzymes in the ovary of common tree shrew (tupaia glis) and northern smooth-tailed tree shrew (dendrogale murina). | to study the ovarian function of the order scandentia, the localization of inhibin and steroidogenic enzymes (3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/isomerase and aromatase) in the ovaries of common tree shrew (tupaia glis) and northern smooth-tailed tree shrew (dendrogale murina) was immunohistochemically analysed. as in the results reported for other mammals, inhibin alpha-chain was localized in the follicular epithelium of secondary or graafian follicles in the two species. the localization of a ... | 2000 | 11103514 |
| functional morphology of the locomotor system in the northern smooth-tailed tree shrew (dendrogale murina). | the locomotor system of the northern smooth-tailed tree shrew (dendrogale murina), one of the arboreal species of scandentia, was examined by means of macroscopic anatomy. in this study, we describe the muscular system in the shoulder, forearm, hip and crural regions. the m. deltoideus and the acromion of the scapula were well-developed. the characteristic postscapular fossa was distinguishable in the scapula. the m. teres major and m. triceps brachii possessed large bundles and were attached to ... | 1999 | 10427378 |
| opsin genes of select treeshrews resolve ancestral character states within scandentia. | treeshrews are small, squirrel-like mammals in the order scandentia, which is nested together with primates and dermoptera in the superordinal group euarchonta. they are often described as living fossils, and researchers have long turned to treeshrews as a model or ecological analogue for ancestral primates. a comparative study of colour vision-encoding genes within scandentia found a derived amino acid substitution in the long-wavelength sensitive opsin gene (opn1lw) of the bornean smooth-taile ... | 2019 | 31183134 |
