| functional morphology of the first cervical vertebra in humans and nonhuman primates. | the cervical vertebral column bears or balances the weight of the head supported by the nuchal muscles that partly originate from the cervical vertebrae. the position of the head relative to the vertebral column, and consequently locomotion and posture behavior, could thus be associated with the form of the cervical vertebrae. in spite of this assumption and some empirical indications along these lines, primate vertebral morphologies have been reported to be very similar and not clearly related ... | 2006 | 16955497 |
| alpha-defensins from blood leukocytes of the monkey papio hamadryas. | three antimicrobial peptides named phd1-3 (papio hamadryas defensin) have been isolated from hamadryas baboon blood leukocytes using preparative electrophoresis and reverse-phase hplc. the primary structures of these peptides have been determined by automated edman degradation and mass-spectrometry. the results suggest that the peptides belong to the alpha-defensin family. structural homology analysis reveals that among alpha-defensins from other animal species, phd3 is the most closely related ... | 2006 | 16978151 |
| repeat expansion in spinocerebellar ataxia type 17 alleles of the tata-box binding protein gene: an evolutionary approach. | the variability and mutational changes of the cag microsatellite in the tata-box binding protein gene (tbp) were studied. we sequenced the microsatellite of the tbp gene of 25 unrelated individuals from northern germany (10 sca17 patients and 15 unaffected control individuals). in addition, the microsatellites were sequenced from individuals of 10 northern german families with at least one family member affected by sca17. to study also the evolutionary history of this cag/caa microsatellite in n ... | 2007 | 17033685 |
| growth modification of the mandible with ultrasound in baboons: a preliminary report. | growth modification for patients with skeletal class ii malocclusions due to mandibular deficiency is controversial. low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (lipus) can modify mandibular growth in growing rabbits. before applying this treatment to humans, we must study the effect on mandibular growth in higher animal models. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of lipus on mandibular growth in baboons. | 2006 | 17045140 |
| trisomy 17 in a baboon (papio hamadryas) with polydactyly, patent foramen ovale and pyelectasis. | trisomy 13 in humans is the third most common autosomal abnormality at birth, after trisomy 21 and trisomy 18. it has a reported incidence of between 1:5,000 and 1:30,000 live births. it is associated with multiple abnormalities, many of which shorten lifespan. we describe here the first reported case of a baboon (papio hamadryas) with trisomy of chromosome 17, which is homologous to human chromosome 13. the trisomic infant was born to a consanguineous pair of baboons and had morphological chara ... | 2007 | 17330307 |

| the relative lengths and weights of metacarpals and metatarsals in baboons (papio hamadryas). | the lengths and weights of metacarpals and metatarsals were measured in two collections of baboon skeletons-33 animals, all born and raised in the wild, and 60 animals, nearly all born and raised in captivity. for both length and weight, ratios were constructed for all possible pairings of the five bones in each individual hand and foot. the pattern of results was not identical for the two collections, but substantial sex differences existed in both collections for many of the ratios calculated. ... | 2003 | 12694645 |
| reduced reproductive function in wild baboons (papio hamadryas anubis) related to natural consumption of the african black plum (vitex doniana). | several authors have suggested that the consumption of plant compounds may have direct effects on wild primate reproductive biology, but no studies have presented physiological evidence of such effects. here, for two troops of olive baboons (papio hamadryas anubis) at gashaka-gumti national park, nigeria, we show major seasonal increases in levels of fecal progesterone metabolites in females, and provide evidence that this is linked to the consumption of natural plant compounds. increases in fec ... | 2007 | 17681506 |
| numerity of a socially housed hamadryas baboon (papio hamadryas) and a socially housed squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus). | to extend a study conducted by e. m. brannon and h. s. terrace (1998, 2000), the authors trained 1 hamadryas baboon (papio hamadryas) and 1 squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus) to respond to stimuli representing the numerosities 1-4 in ascending order. when tested with novel stimuli of the same numerosities, both subjects' performance appeared to be based on the numerical attributes of stimuli. subjects were then tested on their ability to order pairs of numerosities derived from the values 1-9. b ... | 2003 | 12856792 |
| behavioral variation and reproductive success of male baboons (papio anubis x papio hamadryas) in a hybrid social group. | we take advantage of an array of hybrid baboons (papio anubis x papio hamadryas) living in the same social group to explore the causes and consequences of different male mating strategies. male hamadryas hold one-male units and exhibit a sustained, intense interest in adult females, regardless of the latter's reproductive state. anubis baboons, by contrast, live in multi-male, multi-female groups where males compete for females only when the latter are estrous. these two taxa interbreed to form ... | 2008 | 17724672 |
| gene expression profiling of alcoholic liver disease in the baboon (papio hamadryas) and human liver. | the molecular pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease (ald) is not well understood. gene expression profiling has the potential to identify new pathways and altered molecules in ald. gene expression profiles of ald in a baboon model and humans were compared using dna arrays. reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry were used for downstream analysis of array results. cdna array analysis revealed differential expression of several novel genes and pathways in additio ... | 2003 | 14633604 |
| bone mineral density reference standards in adult baboons (papio hamadryas) by sex and age. | osteoporosis is a progressive condition involving structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to skeletal fragility and an increased susceptibility to fractures due to low bone mass and high rates of bone turnover. areal bone mineral density (abmd) serves as the most reliable predictor of susceptibility to osteoporotic fracture. the development of animal models, including old world monkeys, has been essential to studies of bone mineral density. these animals, including the baboon, exhibit m ... | 2003 | 14678847 |
| sequence-specific analysis of microchimerism by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction in same-sex nonhuman primates after islet and bone marrow transplantation. | accurate and sensitive detection of microchimerism in nonhuman primates (nhps) after hematopoietic cell transplantation is essential for monitoring cell engraftment, for evaluating the success of transplant protocols, and for expanding the utility of nhp in transplantation studies. because limited sequences are available for nhp major histocompatibility complex polymorphic loci, methods that can accurately determine low levels of donor cells in recipients with same-sex bone marrow transplantatio ... | 2007 | 18165781 |
| maternal parity affects neonatal survival rate in a colony of captive bred baboons (papio hamadryas). | non-human primates, particularly baboons, are valuable as animal models for reproductive research, because of their similarity to humans. knowledge of colony-specific pregnancy and neonatal outcomes is essential for interpretation of such research. | 2008 | 18194221 |
| gastroesophageal reflux disease in baboons (papio sp.): a new animal model. | gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) is increasingly prevalent in the human population. current animal models require surgical or other manipulation to produce symptoms. an animal model that exhibits spontaneous gerd would provide the opportunity for much-needed research examining the susceptibility, diagnosis, and treatment of gerd. | 2008 | 18199068 |

| trypanosoma cruzi in non-human primates with a history of stillbirths: a retrospective study (papio hamadryas spp.) and case report (macaca fascicularis). | congenital transmission of trypanosoma cruzi has been described in humans and experimental work has been conducted with mice, but not with non-human primates (nhps). | 2008 | 18671769 |
| the effect of aging on the immunohistochemistry of apolipoprotein e in the liver. | apolipoprotein e (apoe) is involved in hepatic disposition of chylomicron remnants, which is impaired in old age. isoforms of apoe have been implicated in age-related diseases and possibly the aging process itself. because the effects of old age on expression and distribution of apoe in the liver have not been reported, we studied the effect of old age on the immunohistochemistry of apoe in the livers of humans and the non-human primate, papio hamadryas. overall, old age was not associated with ... | 2004 | 14724064 |
| habitual cave use and thermoregulation in chacma baboons (papio hamadryas ursinus). | the willingness to utilise caves as shelters is held to have been important to early humans but dependent on pyrotechnology. despite anecdotal evidence that non-human primates will also exploit caves there has as yet been no detailed account of such exploitation or of the reasons underlying it. here we provide the first such data, on the frequency and patterning of the use of an underground cave system by baboons (papio hamadryas)-and show that usage is determined, at least in part, by above-gro ... | 2004 | 14871563 |
| network scaling reveals consistent fractal pattern in hierarchical mammalian societies. | recent studies have demonstrated that human societies are hierarchically structured with a consistent scaling ratio across successive layers of the social network; each layer of the network is between three and four times the size of the preceding (smaller) grouping level. here we show that similar relationships hold for four mammalian taxa living in multi-level social systems. for elephant (loxodonta africana), gelada (theropithecus gelada) and hamadryas (papio hamadryas hamadryas) baboon, succ ... | 2008 | 18765349 |
| precision grips, hand morphology, and tools. | this study asks whether there are discernable links between precision gripping, tool behaviors, and hand morphology in modern hominoids, which may guide functional interpretation of early hominid hand morphology. findings from a three-pronged investigation answer this question in the affirmative, as follows: (1) experimental manufacture of early prehistoric tools provides evidence of connections between distinctive human precision grips and effective tool making. (a connection is not found betwe ... | 1997 | 9034041 |
| molecular cloning and expression characterization of apoc-i in the orange-spotted grouper. | endogenous yolk nutrients are crucial for embryo and larval development in fish, but developmental behavior of the genes that control yolk utilization remains unknown. apolipoproteins have been shown to play important roles in lipid transport and uptake through the circulation system. in this study, ecapoc-i, the first cloned apoc-i in teleosts, has been screened from pituitary cdna library of female orange-spotted grouper (epinephelus coioides), and the deduced amino acid sequence shows 43.5% i ... | 2008 | 18958591 |
| the baboon model (papio hamadryas) of fetal loss: maternal weight, age, reproductive history and pregnancy outcome. | several risk factors are associated with the incidence of human stillbirths. the prevention of stillbirths in women is a pressing clinical problem. | 2008 | 19017195 |
| [follow-up study of the evolution of the quantitative eeg in intraventricular infusion of nerve growth factor in an aged baboon]. | the animal model of aged monkeys is a good homologue of alzheimer's disease in humans, in which it has been shown that there is disproportionate slowing of the eeg when compared with healthy subjects paired for age. this is found both on the conventional eeg and quantitatively. in the latter, relative energy has been the measurement most commonly used for diagnosis and follow-up with various treatments. the follow-up parameters evaluated in this study were: absolute and relative energy of the qu ... | 1997 | 9244612 |
| androgen effects on bioactive and immunoreactive gonadotrophin levels during puberty in male baboons. | the effect of androgens on changes in circulating lh and fsh during pubertal development was examined longitudinally in a 3 year study in male hamadryas baboons. baboon lh and fsh were measured by a species-specific radioimmunoassay and bioactive lh (b-lh) was measured by the mouse in vitro leydig cell bioassay. control baboons (n = 5) progressed normally through puberty. eight baboons were castrated prepubertally; of these four received testosterone implants at the chronological age (ca) of cli ... | 1997 | 9364367 |
| baboon/human homologies examined by spectral karyotyping (sky): a visual comparison. | baboon (papio hamadryas) metaphase chromosomes were analyzed using spectral karyotyping (sky), a technique combining fluorescence microscopy, ccd-imaging, and fourier spectroscopy. results from a comparison of sky analyses using probes derived from human chromosomes on baboon metaphases were consistent with the majority of comparative gene mapping data between the two species. these data were also compatible with earlier studies comparing macaque and human chromosomes. human (hsa) chromosome 2 w ... | 1998 | 9763666 |
| microbial community analysis of rectal methanogens and sulfate reducing bacteria in two non-human primate species. | methanogenesis by methanogenic archaea and sulfate reduction by sulfate reducing bacteria (srb) are the major hydrogenotrophic pathways in the human colon. methanogenic status of mammals is suggested to be under evolutionary rather than dietary control. however, information is lacking regarding the dynamics of hydrogenotrophic microbial communities among different primate species. | 2009 | 19548980 |
| imaging dopamine d4 receptors in the living primate brain: a positron emission tomography study using the novel d1/d4 antagonist [11c]sdz glc 756. | the dopamine d4 receptor has lately attracted interest since it has been hypothesized to be involved in the pathogenesis and pharmacotherapy of neuropsychiatric diseases. the present study provides first in vivo evidence of dopamine d4 receptors in primate brain using a [11c]benzo[g]quinoline, the novel radioligand [11c]sdz glc 756 ([11c]glc: in vitro dissociation constants at human receptor clones [nm]: 1.10 at d1; 0.40 at d2; 25 at d3; 0.18 at d4.2; 6.03 at d5). dynamic positron emission tomog ... | 1998 | 9826226 |
| verreaux's eagles (aquila verreauxi) as potential predators of hamadryas baboons (papio hamadryas hamadryas) in eritrea. | in this paper we describe for the first time encounters of verreaux's eagle (aquila verreauxi) with hamadryas baboons (papio hamadryas hamadryas) in the central highlands of eritrea (15 degrees 22' n, 38 degrees 58' e, 2300 m). during 12 h of observation on 4 days, we observed four encounters of verreaux's eagles with baboons, of which three can be classified as possible attacks. the baboons always responded with alarm calls. in three cases some immatures rushed to adult group members and clung ... | 1999 | 9888722 |
| does relative economic value of food elicit purposeful encounter in the yellow baboons (papio hamadryas cynocephalus) of ruaha national park, tanzania? | in the dry season, baboons traveled purposefully to spatially predictable foods that provided a relatively large number of grams per minute of preparation (e.g., economical foods), but not to predictable foods that merely accounted for a large proportion of feeding time (pochron in int j primatol 22:773-785, 2001). in this paper, i examined the generality of those findings across seasons and applied the same methods to baboons eating a lush-season diet. i hypothesized that baboons should travel ... | 2005 | 15340858 |
| dental microwear in anubis and hybrid baboons (papio hamadryas, sensu lato) living in awash national park, ethiopia. | we describe dental microwear in baboons (papio hamadryas sensu lato) from the anubis-hamadryas hybrid zone of awash national park, ethiopia, outline its variation with sex and age, and attempt to relate the observed microwear pattern to environment and diet. casts of the maxillary second molar of 52 adult and subadult individuals of both sexes were examined with a scanning electron microscope at x 500. digitized micrographs were taken at a consistent location on facet 9, and microwear was record ... | 2004 | 15386258 |
| inflammatory, hemostatic, and clinical changes in a baboon experimental model for heatstroke. | the mortality and neurological morbidity in heatstroke have been attributed to the host's inflammatory and hemostatic responses to heat stress, suggesting that immunomodulation may improve outcome. we postulated that an experimental baboon model of heatstroke will reproduce human responses and clinical outcome to allow testing of new therapeutic strategies. eight anesthetized juvenile baboons (papio hamadryas) were subjected to heat stress in an incubator maintained at 44-47 degrees c until rect ... | 2005 | 15475604 |
| the use of a hypo-osmotic swelling (hos) test on sperm of the pig (sus scrofa domesticus), emu (dromaius novaehollandiae), asian elephant (elephas maximus), hamadryas baboon (papio hamadryas hamadryas), and central rock rat (zyzomys pedunculatus). | a hypo-osmotic swelling test using talp-hepes medium over a range of 50 to 300 mosm/kg was applied to sperm from domestic and endangered species. maximal responses of curling of the sperm tails were seen over a range of osmolalities for epididymal sperm from the pig (100 mosm/kg), hamadryas baboon (range 50-125 mosm/kg), and central rock rat (range 50-100 mosm/kg), and the ejaculated sperm from the emu (50 mosm/kg) and the asian elephant (range 75-150 mosm/kg). a solution of talp-hepes medium at ... | 2009 | 19734955 |
| hormonal correlates of changes in interest in unrelated infants across the peripartum period in female baboons (papio hamadryas anubis sp.). | in past research on human and nonhuman primates, maternal responsiveness and behavior has been thought of as an experiential, cognitive mechanism; however, recent findings have shown that maternal motivation and behavior may not be entirely divorced from the endocrine system. to investigate the relationship between interest in infants and the hormonal changes related to pregnancy, we examined the nature of social interactions across parturition between a large sample (n = 133) of adult female ba ... | 2004 | 15555493 |
| comparative analysis of muscle architecture in primate arm and forearm. | a comparative study of myological morphology, i.e. muscle mass (mm), muscle fascicle length and muscle physiological cross-sectional area (an indicator of the force capacity of muscles), was conducted in nine primate species: human (homo sapiens), chimpanzee (pan troglodytes), gibbon (hylobates spp.), papio (papio hamadryas), lutong (trachypithecus francoisi), green monkey (chlorocebus aethiops), macaque monkey (macaca spp.), capuchin monkey (cebus albifrons) and squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureu ... | 2010 | 19958344 |

| identification of human specific gene duplications relative to other primates by array cgh and quantitative pcr. | in order to identify human lineage specific (hls) copy number differences (cnds) compared to other primates, we performed pair wise comparisons (human vs. chimpanzee, gorilla and orangutan) by using cdna array comparative genomic hybridization (cgh). a set of 23 genes with hls duplications were identified, as well as other lineage differences in gene copy number specific of chimpanzee, gorilla and orangutan. each species has gained more copies of specific genes rather than losing gene copies. el ... | 2010 | 20153417 |
| de novo sequencing of two new cyclic theta-defensins from baboon (papio hamadryas) leukocytes by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. | two cyclic theta-defensin peptides were isolated from leukocytes of the hamadryas baboon, papio hamadryas, and purified to homogeneity by gel electrophoresis and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. both peptides had high in vitro activity against escherichia coli, listeria monocytogenes, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) and candida albicans. here, we report their de novo sequencing by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time-of-flight mass spec ... | 2010 | 20155756 |
| the pattern of the arterial supply of the pancreas in anthropoid apes, catarrhine monkeys and platyrrhine monkeys. | to get the full understanding of the arterial distribution to the pancreas, the analysis of the distribution of the variety of monkey species would be helpful. in this study, we studied the layout of the pancreatic artery in anthropoids (1 gorilla, 3 chimpanzees and 2 white-handed gibbons), in catarrhine monkeys (1 hamadryas baboon, 2 anubid baboons, 10 savannah monkeys) and in platyrrhine monkeys (6 squirrel monkeys). the pancreas of the monkeys was supplied by the arteries originating from the ... | 2009 | 20166548 |
| trisomy of chromosome 18 in the baboon (papio hamadryas anubis). | trisomy 18 is usually a lethal chromosomal abnormality and is the second most common autosomal trisomy in humans, with an incidence of 1:8000 live births. it is commonly associated with abnormalities of the lower and upper extremities, having the frequency of 95% and 65%, respectively. a newborn female olive baboon (papio hamadryas anubis) was diagnosed with intrauterine growth retardation and severe arthrogryposis-like congenital joint deformities. cytogenetic analysis including g-banding and f ... | 2006 | 16276093 |
| thermal constraints on activity scheduling and habitat choice in baboons. | the importance of thermoregulation as a constraint on behavior has received comparatively little attention in relation to other ecological factors. despite this, a number of studies suggested that high temperature may represent an important ecological constraint. this paper examines the impact of temperature on activity scheduling in a troop of chacma baboons (papio hamadryas ursinus) at de hoop nature reserve, south africa. once the daily, seasonal, and individual effects were controlled for, t ... | 2006 | 16323181 |
| genetic evidence for female-biased dispersal and gene flow in a polygynous primate. | many models of sex-biased dispersal predict that the direction of sex-bias depends upon a species' mating system. in agreement with this, almost all polygynous mammals show male-biased dispersal whereas largely monogamous birds show female-biased dispersal (fbd). the hamadryas baboon (papio hamadryas hamadryas) is polygynous and so dispersal is predicted to be male biased, as is found in all other baboon subspecies, but there are conflicting field data showing both female and male dispersal. usi ... | 2006 | 16615216 |
| strong and consistent social bonds enhance the longevity of female baboons. | longevity is a major component of variation in fitness in long-lived iteroparous species [1-4]. among female baboons, variation in breeding lifespan accounts for approximately 50% of the variation in lifetime fitness [5, 6]. however, we know little about the causes of variation in longevity in primates or other long-lived mammals. savannah baboons form strong, equitable, and enduring relationships with specific female partners, particularly with close relatives and agemates [7-10]. the quality o ... | 2010 | 20598541 |
| comparing responses of four ungulate species to playbacks of baboon alarm calls. | a growing body of evidence suggests that a wide range of animals can recognize and respond appropriately to calls produced by other species. social learning has been implicated as a possible mechanism by which heterospecific call recognition might develop. to examine whether familiarity and/or shared vulnerability with the calling species might influence the ability of sympatric species to distinguish heterospecific alarm calls, we tested whether four ungulate species (impala: aepyceros melampus ... | 2010 | 20607576 |
| design, synthesis, and structure-affinity relationships of regioisomeric n-benzyl alkyl ether piperazine derivatives as sigma-1 receptor ligands. | a series of n-(benzofuran-2-ylmethyl)-n'-benzylpiperazines bearing alkyl or fluoroalkyl aryl ethers were synthesized and evaluated at various central nervous system receptors. examination of in vitro sigma1 {[3h]+-pentazocine} and sigma2 ([3h]dtg) receptor binding profiles of piperazines 11-13 and 25-36 revealed several highly potent and sigma1 selective ligands, notably, n-(benzofuran-2-ylmethyl)-n'-(4'-methoxybenzyl)piperazine (13, ki=2.7 nm, sigma2/sigma1=38) and n-(benzofuran-2-ylmethyl)-n'- ... | 2010 | 20662542 |
| patterns of gastro-intestinal parasites and commensals as an index of population and ecosystem health: the case of sympatric western chimpanzees (pan troglodytes verus) and guinea baboons (papio hamadryas papio) at fongoli, senegal. | the exponential decline of great apes over the past 50 years has resulted in an urgent need for data to inform population viability assessment and conservation strategies. health monitoring of remaining ape populations is an important component of this process. in support of this effort, we examined endoparasitic and commensal prevalence and richness as proxies of population health for western chimpanzees (pan troglodytes verus) and sympatric guinea baboons (papio hamadryas papio) at fongoli, se ... | 2011 | 20853397 |
| eight week exposure to a high sugar high fat diet results in adiposity gain and alterations in metabolic biomarkers in baboons (papio hamadryas sp.). | baboons (papio hamadryas sp.) develop features of the cardiometabolic syndrome and represent a clinically-relevant animal model in which to study the aetiology of the disorder. to further evaluate the baboon as a model for the study of the cardiometabolic syndrome, we developed a high sugar high fat diet and hypothesized that it could be used to induce adiposity gain and affect associated circulating biomarkers. | 2010 | 21034486 |
| [data on intestinal parasites of lower monkeys in the adler apery]. | under captive conditions, a parasite fauna connected with the changes in ecological conditions, feeding, and mode of life is usually formed in monkeys. species composition of the intestinal parasites has been investigated in six species of the monkeys (macaca mulatta, m. fascicularis, m. nemestrina, ceropithecus aethiops, papio hamadryas, and p. anubis), which were born in the adler apery and live there for a long time. a comparison with similar investigations carried out in the sukhumi apery, w ... | 2010 | 21061593 |
| chemical characterization of oligosaccharides in the milk of six species of new and old world monkeys. | human and great ape milks contain a diverse array of milk oligosaccharides, but little is known about the milk oligosaccharides of other primates, and how they differ among taxa. neutral and acidic oligosaccharides were isolated from the milk of three species of old world or catarrhine monkeys (cercopithecidae: rhesus macaque (macaca mulatta), toque macaque (macaca sinica) and hamadryas baboon (papio hamadryas)) and three of new world or platyrrhine monkeys (cebidae: tufted capuchin (cebus apell ... | 2010 | 21127965 |
| a second-generation genetic linkage map of the baboon (papio hamadryas) genome. | construction of genetic linkage maps for nonhuman primate species provides information and tools that are useful for comparative analysis of chromosome structure and evolution and facilitates comparative analysis of meiotic recombination mechanisms. most importantly, nonhuman primate genome linkage maps provide the means to conduct whole genome linkage screens for localization and identification of quantitative trait loci that influence phenotypic variation in primate models of common complex hu ... | 2006 | 16697552 |
| metabolic adjustments to moderate maternal nutrient restriction. | reduced food availability in pregnancy influences fetal growth, obstetric outcomes and offspring health in both developing and developed countries. the objective of the present study was to determine responses to moderate global maternal nutrient restriction (mnr) during pregnancy in baboons (papio hamadryas) - an established non-human primate model for pregnancy-related research. starting at 30 d gestation (dg), twelve pregnant baboons received 70 % of food (mnr group) consumed by twenty ad lib ... | 2007 | 17391566 |

| primate lens capsule elasticity assessed using atomic force microscopy. | the purpose of this project is to measure the elasticity of the human and non-human primate lens capsule at the microscopic scale using atomic force microscopy (afm). elasticity measurements were performed using afm on the excised anterior lens capsule from 9 cynomolgus monkey (5.9-8.0 years), 8 hamadryas baboon (2.8-10.1 years), and 18 human lenses (33-79 years). anterior capsule specimens were obtained by performing a 5 mm continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and collecting the resulting disk ... | 2011 | 21420953 |
| use of palm trees as a sleeping site for hamadryas baboons (papio hamadryas hamadryas) in ethiopia. | hamadryas baboons sleep on cliffs throughout their range, and this can be attributed to the safety cliffs provide against predators in the absence of tall trees. in this paper, we report the first documented occurrence of hamadryas baboons sleeping in doum palm trees rather than on cliffs. data derive from a study of hamadryas baboons at the filoha site in lowland ethiopia. during all-day follows, data were collected on travel patterns, band activity, and location. variation in the baboons' home ... | 2008 | 17701992 |
| high-resolution imaging of the large non-human primate brain using micropet: a feasibility study. | the neuroanatomy and physiology of the baboon brain closely resembles that of the human brain and is well suited for evaluating promising new radioligands in non-human primates by pet and spect prior to their use in humans. these studies are commonly performed on clinical scanners with 5 mm spatial resolution at best, resulting in sub-optimal images for quantitative analysis. this study assessed the feasibility of using a micropet animal scanner to image the brains of large non-human primates, i ... | 2007 | 17975287 |
| tumor necrosis factor α induces a model of preeclampsia in pregnant baboons (papio hamadryas). | preeclampsia is a common disease of pregnancy characterised by maternal hypertension and proteinuria. abnormal placentation in early pregnancy and abnormal cytokine and anti-angiogenic factor expression are thought to contribute to the clinical syndrome of endothelial dysfunction evident in the second half of gestation. the mechanisms underlying both the placental pathology and its translation to the maternal clinical syndrome are not fully understood. a model of preeclampsia manifest by clinica ... | 2011 | 21737300 |
| the effect of medroxyprogesterone acetate on behavioural responses of captive female hamadryas baboons (papio hamadryas). | female hormonal contraception is considered here as an alternative to vasectomy for population control in social groups of captive hamadryas baboons (papio hamadryas). while female hormonal contraceptive methods have been successful, behavioural effects of such agents represent a potential welfare concern. this study examined the effect of medroxyprogesterone acetate (mpa; 3.5mg/kg) on perineal tumescence and behaviour in three social groups (total of 3 males, 22 females) of captive hamadryas ba ... | 2008 | 17980521 |
