In their natural habitats rats are primarily nocturnal—the brown rat is a prominent exception, being active day and night in both urban and ruralenvironments. All rats are terrestrial, and many are also arboreal. The Sulawesian white-tailed rat is an excellent climber and exhibits the classic ...
Most species are active at night (except the musky rat kangaroo, which is active during the day), foraging for grass, tubers, and, especially, underground fungi; some also eat grubs and worms. The four species of short-nosed rat kangaroos, or bettongs (genus Bettongia), have pinkish ...
LDim acutely increased sleep in the active phase during the first dim light (active) phase with a fur- ther increase over the following days, whereas LDim gradually decreased sleep during the light (inactive) phase. The reduced sleep-wake rhythm amplitude was paralleled by reduced rhythms in ...

Transmembrane Na+ and K+ gradients in the rat tail artery were dissipated by overnight incubation in K-free PSS at 10 degrees C and then allowed to recover in normal physiologic salt solution (PSS) at 37 degrees C. The active extrusion of Na+ and uptake of K+ during the recovery period...
the whole-animal metabolic rate of naked mole-rats in acute hypoxia is not significantly different between cold and warm experimental conditions14. These observations suggest two intriguing hypotheses: specifically, that naked mole-rats: (1) employ active thermogenesis in cold, normoxic conditions, and...
smaller species isOsgood’s rat (R. osgoodi) of southern Vietnam, with a body 12 to 17 cm long and a somewhat shorter tail. At the larger extreme is theSulawesian white-tailed rat (R. xanthurus), measuring 19 to 27 cm long with a tail of 26 to 34 cm....
Alteration of programming of the intestinal wall maturation may be responsible for non-communicable chronic diseases in adulthood. It may originate from prenatal exposure of mothers to deleterious environmental factors such as pesticides or western diet.
