## Background: It has been suggested that retinal ganglion cells (rgcs) of tupaia can be subdivided into three classes that correspond to the x, y, and w classes in the cat. estimates of these classes as determined by electrophysiological experiments and by histological studies of the retina are at

Abstract
The circadian rhythm of body temperature of the tree shrew Tupaia belangeri was studied by telemetry. The amplitude of the daily (or circadian) variation was found to be much larger than that of most endotherms (amplitude βΌ 5Β°C) and the bimodal shape of the rhythm differed from the cosine waveform that characterizes the temperature rhythms of most other species. In freeβrunning conditions, as well as in the entrained state, the temperature rhythm remained synchronized to the rhythm of locomotor activity. Β© 1992 WileyβLiss, Inc.

The distribution of the calcium-binding protein calretinin was studied in peripheral and central parts of the main olfactory system (MOS) and the vomeronasal system (VNS) of adult tree shrew Tupaia belangeri. The calretinin immunoreaction was carried out with a peroxidase-coupled polyclonal antibody
## Abstract Crystalloids of what appear to be smooth reticulum have been observed in the zona fasciculata and zona reticularis in both the stressed and nonstressed adrenal gland of the Siamese tree shrew (__Tupaia glis__). No crystalloids are observed in the zona glomerulosa. Similar crystalloids h
Background: Whereas the secretion of the male vesicular gland in most mammals is amorphous, that of the tree shrew, Tupaia glis, was observed to be stored as globules. Methods: Vesicular and prostate glands from Tupaia, fixed in glutaraldehyde and osmium, were studied in the light and electron micr
