Device of capture and restraint of nonhuman primates

Once the animals were trained, the entire group or a desired subgroup of animals entered the unit voluntarily when the entrance tunnel was opened each day. [Training protocol is not described.]

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...

Cortisol responses under different housing conditions in female squirrel monkeys

Plasma levels of cortisol were significantly lower in pair-housed females than in those living in a social group or individually. The increment in cortisol levels after stress (handling and ether anesthesia) also was smaller in females housed in pairs. Dominant...
