Developmental weight gain was traced in two species of macaque, Macaca radiata and Macaca nemestrina. Some similarities in growth patterns between the two species were observed. Spontaneous obesity in bonnet macaques was observed, and growth curves of these specimens were compared with those of
Ten pairs of obese and nonobese monkeys, matched for age and sex, received one liquid test meal a day for 4 days. Testing was conducted during the middle of a 6-h period of food deprivation. At all other times the monkeys were freely fed on maintenance chow biscuits. The first test meal of grape and
OBJECTIVE
Obesity is associated with the insulin resistance metabolic syndrome, postulated to be mediated by stress-induced alterations within the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. In adult bonnet macaques we examined relationships between components of the metabolic syndrome, hippocampal
Stress is a risk factor for chronic illnesses such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension and has been postulated to cause the metabolic syndrome via perturbation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. In our model of early-life stress (variable foraging demand [VFD]), food
BACKGROUND
A 10-year-old, female bonnet monkey (Macaca radiata) showed abnormal menstrual cycle length with heavy menstrual bleeding for 6-8 days.
METHODS
Uterine ultrasound and histological examinations of endometrium by endometrial biopsy.
RESULTS
An ultrasound examination of the uterine cavity
Obesity has negative health consequences related to fat distribution, particularly the central or visceral accumulation of fat. The major complications associated with visceral obesity, termed the "Metabolic Syndrome of Obesity," or "Syndrome X," are type II diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.
OBJECTIVE
Peripheral neuropathy has been shown to exist in prediabetic and diabetic patients and animal models. However, the development of peripheral neuropathy in prediabetes and posthyperglycemia is likely different. The purpose of this study was to examine the progression of peripheral
Increased neurogenesis in feeding centers of the murine hypothalamus is associated with weight loss in diet-induced obese rodents (Kokoeva et al., 2005 and Matrisciano et al., 2010), but this relationship has not been examined in other species. Postmortem hippocampal neurogenesis rates and premortem
Lay Summary: Different species of vertebrates have conditions similar to human obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Increasing number of studies are now revealing that the causes and interrelationships between these states are substantially different in different species. Comparative
OBJECTIVE
To shed more light on the role of heart rate and blood pressure during cannabis withdrawal.
METHODS
Post-hoc analysis of data collected during a prospective inpatient monitoring of withdrawal symptoms of 39 (8 female) adult (median 27 year old) treatment-seeking, predominantly white
BACKGROUND
Until now no technology has been available to study energy metabolism in monkeys. The objective of this study was to determine daily energy expenditures (EE) and respiratory quotients (RQ) in female monkeys of various body weights and ages.
METHODS
16 socially reared Bonnet Macaque female
Cholecystocutaneous fistulas (CCFs) are an increasingly rare consequence of chronic gallbladder inflammation and disease. Historically, they were commonly noted in the literature by Courvoisier, Naunyn, and Bonnet in the late 1800s. Due to improvements in diagnostic imaging and treatment options in
