The heart rate in monkeys (Baboons and Macaques) in different physiological states recorded by radiotelemetry

In the presence of man the heart rate is always increased, in spite of the fact that the monkeys appear to be calm.

The UFAW Handbook on the Care and Management of Laboratory Animals (4th ed): Primates – General

The higher primates, such as chimpanzees and baboons, are intelligent and sensitive. If handled with sympathy and understanding they can become more than research tools - even co-operative partners in experimentation. To achieve this, a little time, often time well...

Effects of adult social experience on patterns of reproductive activity of socially deprived male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

The three [single-caged, socially deprived] male subjects represented examples of severely disturbed animals as witnessed by rates of stereotyped behavior (self-aggression, stereotyped locomotion). The problem under investigation involved the extent to which social group experience as an adult could modify...

Thyroid (plasma BEI) response to chair restraint in the monkey

Study of 14 of these monkeys throughout a longer period of 8 weeks of chair restraint indicated that ... mean BEI [butanol extractable iodine] levels remained significantly elevated through the third week. ... Acute emotional arousal [enforced restraint] elicits stimulation...

Effects of selected illumination levels on circadian periodicity in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta)

It was demonstrated that activity of caged rhesus macaques inceases as a function of light intensity (illumination).

Corticosteroid response to chair restraint in the monkey

These experiments indicate clearly that placement in the restraining chair represents a potent stimulus to the pituitary-adrenal cortical system. Animals who were restrained in an unfamiliar environment showed significantly higher urinary cortisol levels than animals who were familiar with the...
