Regulatory genes of simian immunodeficiency viruses from west African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus).
The high seroprevalence of simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) in African green monkeys (AGMs) without immunological defects in their natural hosts has prompted consideration of SIV-infected AGMs as a model of apathogenic SIV infection. Study of the molecular mechanisms of SIVagm asymptomatic infection could thus provide clues for understanding the pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency viru...
متن کاملVariability in blood pressure response to dietary sodium intake among African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops).
Since salt-sensitivity to blood pressure (BP) response is a species-related phenomenon, the response of BP to dietary sodium was examined in 14 adult male African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops). The animals were exposed to graded increase of dietary NaCl at 0 (control), 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0%, respectively for 45, 139, 37, and 90 days. Systolic and diastolic BP and body weights were measure...
متن کاملNutritional effects on blood lipid and HDL cholesterol concentrations in two subspecies of African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops).
The African green monkey has previously been found to be a promising model for the study of atherosclerosis. We have compared the plasma and HDL cholesterol response to dietary manipulation in the two subspecies of African green monkeys (vervets and grivets) most often imported for biomedical research purposes. Twenty vervets and 20 grivets were fed, in succession, diets containing safflower oi...
متن کاملBilateral ovarian cysts originating from rete ovarii in an African green monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops).
Ovarian cyst is common incidental finding in humans and many animals and includes follicular cysts, cystic rete ovarii and mesonephric duct cysts. Ovarian cyst is often associated with reproductive disorders in humans and animals. We found accidentally bilateral cystic masses in ovaries in an African green monkey. Grossly, the left and right ovarian cystic masses were single unilocular cystic s...
متن کاملREDIRECTED AGGRESSION AND RECONCILIATION AMONG VERVET MONKEYS, CERCOPITHECUS AETHIOPS by
The data gathered by human observers studying the behavior of nonhuman primates often reveal a social structure of apparently striking complexity. Social groups are composed of a number of different families of different dominance ranks, each of which both competes and cooperates with other families in the group. It is often difficult for the observer to imagine that the monkeys could function ...
