Measurement of blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, ECG and activity by telemetry in conscious unrestrained marmosets (1993)

Schnell, C. R., Wood, J. M.

Abstract

Restraining well habituated marmosets by hand significantly increased heart rate and blood pressure even after the animals were returned to their home cages. During separation from the group, day-time values for blood pressure and heart rate were higher, and activity lower, suggesting that the animal may be more anxious in this situation. ... After event A [presence of a person], we observed a twofold increase in activity and a marked increase in CT [temperature], MAP [blood pressure] and HR [heart rate].
