Pituitary response to LRH and TRH stimulation and peripheral steroid hormones in conscious and anaesthetized adult male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

Adult male rhesus monkeys are aggressive animals and very difficult to handle. Hence experimental manipulations necessarily involve the use of restraint procedures, either chemical or physical, which may influence endocrine functions. ... The male rhesus monkey, however, is a very...

Normal range of longitudinal blood chemistry and hematology values in juvenile and adult rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

All animals [juvenile and adult] were trained to present an arm through a small cage opening. In this manner blood samples were drawn from untranquilized fully alert animals. [No further details]

Serum levels of testosterone, cortisol, prolactin and bioactive luteinizing hormone in adult male rhesus monkeys following cage-restraint or anaesthetizing with ketamine hydrochloride

Single-housed, adult male rhesus macaques were restrained in their home cages for blood collection at 20 minute intervals. While testosterone levels significantly declined, serum cortisol concentrations significantly increased over a one-hour sampling period.

Abnormal behavior patterns in rhesus monkeys: Symptoms of mental disease?

This paper describes the morphology of abnormal behavior of rhesus monkeys which had experienced a certain degree of social isolation. Analysis of the morphology of the behavior starts from the hypothesis that abnormal activities should preferably be interpreted as distortions...

Deep woodchip litter: Hygiene, feeding, and behavioral enhancement in eight primate species

Sixty-seven animals from eight primate species were used to assess improved husbandry techniques. The presence of woodchips as a direct-contact litter decreased inactivity and fighting, and increased time spent on the ground. Placing food in the deep litter led to...

Venipuncture and vaginal swabbing in an enclosure occupied by a mixed-sex group of stumptailed macacaques (Macaca arctoides)

Training technique is described. Eight female stump-tailed macaques (M. arctoides) who lived with six adult males were rewarded with fresh fruit after being netted against the enclosure wire while a cotton-tipped swab was inserted in the vagina, gently rotated and...
