Differential effects of chemical and physical restraint on carbohydrate tolerance testing in nonhuman primates (1982)

Streett, J. W., Jonas, A. M.

Abstract

Restraint of nonhuman primates may introduce major variables to complicate experimentation or clinical testing such as during the repeated blood samplings necessary for carbohydrate tolerance testing (p. 263). Chemical restraint with ketamine prevented the establishment of definitive baseline plasma glucose tolerance curves from which meaningful interpretations could be derived.
