Effect of ketamine on cardiovascular parameters and body temperature in cynomolgus monkeys

To investigate the influence of ketamine on these assessments, we studied the effects of intramuscularly administered ketamine on heart rate, blood pressure, electrocardiography and body temperature in telemeterized cynomolgus monkeys... Intramuscular administration of ketamine produces modest changes in cardiovascular parameters...

Retrospective evaluation of pair-housing juvenile and adult cynomolgus macaques in a pharmaceutical environment

Our experience and data suggest that pair formation in juvenile and adult cynomolgus male and female macaques has been successful and has allowed us to provide social housing in a pharmaceutical environment.

Early predictors of self-biting in socially-housed rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)

Our findings suggest that the surrogate rearing condition in combination with lower levels of social contact during play may be risk factors for the later development of self-biting behavior.

Comparison of different enzyme-immunoassays for assessment of adrenocortical activity in primates based on fecal analysis

The overall aim of the present study was to assess the validity of four enzyme-immunoassays (EIAs) using antibodies raised against cortisol, corticosterone, and reduced cortisol metabolites (two group-specific antibodies) for assessing adrenocortical activity using fecal glucocorticoid metabolite (GCM) measurements in...

Outdoor housing decreases self-injurious and stereotypic behavior in adult male rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)

Access to an outdoor area decreased self-injurious and stereotypical behaviors in adult male rhesus who had been single-caged or group-housed indoors.

Predictors of abnormal behavior in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)

A significantly higher proportion of nursery reared animals and a significantly lower proportion than expected of animals reared in out-door housed groups developed abnormal behavior. Our results suggest [sic] that time spent in restricted housing ... is a predictor of...

Development and implementation of a program for the social housing of nonhuman primates on toxicology studies

We developed a step-wise procedure for social housing animals (cynomolgus and rhesus) into pairs, triads or quads based on the study design. Nonhuman primates that were socially housed showed signs of better physical and psychological health, thereby greatly reducing abnormal...
