Animal Info - Black Shrew Shrews in the genus Suncus range widely in size (head and body length: 20 - 100 mm (0.8 - 4")) and weight (2.5 - 106 g (0.1 - 3.8 oz)). Young shrews in the genus Suncus sometimes travel by caravaning.

British Journal of Pharmacology - The emetic and anti-emetic effects of the capsaicin analogue resiniferatoxin in ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) During the course of the studies it became apparent that Suncus vomited readily in response to RTX and therefore the scope of the study was extended to investigate the mechanism and site of this novel effect of RTX. The pharmacological, micro-injection and vagotomy studies in Suncus indicate that the most likely explanation for the emesis is due to a release of substance P (or a closely related neurokinin) in the central nervous system and most probably in the medulla oblongata. Whilst the foot-tapping characteristic of central NK receptor activation in the Mongolian gerbil (Rupniak and Williams, 1994) was not observed in Suncus this behaviour is believed to be highly species-specific. www.labanimal.com /bjp/journal/v130/n6/full/0703428a.html   (6078 words)

Genus Suncus or musk shrews and pygmy shrews Genus Suncus or musk shrews and pygmy shrews Another possible explanation for the induction of fatty liver in suncus is a defect in apo B-processing in the liver.

papers The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of different frequency and amplitude of horizontal movements to induce motion sickness and to identify gender differences and adaptation to motion stimulus in adult Suncus murinus. Each animal was subjected to a horizontal motion stimulus of 3, 7, 13, or 40 mm amplitude at a frequency of 0.5, 1, 2, or 3 Hz. Also, a reduction in responsiveness was observed at 1 Hz, which attained a maximum effect by the third challenge. seasickness.co.uk /html/body_papers_49.html   (306 words)

Fun Zone: The Mammal Society Mass (weight) is the best estimator, overall, but is not always taken by field workers, who may be restricted to taking body lengths, or museum workers, who prefer skull lengths. Savi's Pigmy Shrew Suncus etruscus is probably the World's, certainly Europe's, smallest mammal. With a skull length of 11mm (13 mm for Suncus etruscus), this is certainly among the smallest mammals, and is the smallest bat, but bats have proportionately short skulls, and shrews have long ones. www.abdn.ac.uk /mammal/smallest.shtml   (668 words)

Morphometric analysis of small follicles in the ovary of the musk shrew (Suncus murinus L.) at different ages. Morphometric analysis of small follicles in the ovary of the musk shrew (Suncus murinus L.) at different ages. The pattern of small follicular development was characterized by a short early dormant followed by a rapid growth phase. A positive correlation between the percentage of Type B and a negative correlation between the percentages of Types B/C, C, and D and the total small ovarian follicular population indicate the operation of an intraovarian regulation of some early steps of follicular growth. www.arclab.org /medlineupdates/abstract_1601250.html   (222 words)

Shrew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia All shrews are small, most no more than mouse size. The largest species is the House Shrew (Suncus murinus) of tropical Asia which is about 15 cm long and weighs around 100 grams; several are very small, notably the Pygmy White-toothed Shrew (Suncus etruscus) which at about 3.5 cm and 2 grams is one of the smallest living mammals.

Histological Studies of Mandibular Condyles of Growing Suncus House musk shrew (Suncus murinus) looks like a rodent animal but is actually a mammalian animal.

Conclusion: The result of the present study indicated that the mandibular condyle of the growing suncus showed the rapid structural changes in a short period of time after birth. iadr.confex.com /iadr/2002SanDiego/techprogram/abstract_13722.htm   (300 words)
