| chronic haloperidol or fluphenazine: effects on dopamine metabolism in brain, cerebrospinal fluid and plasma of cercopithecus aethiops (vervet monkey). | chronic treatment with haloperidol for 3 to 5 weeks (0.5 mg/kg, daily) resulted in significant increases of homovanillic acid (hva) content in dorsal and orbital frontal cortex and in cingulate cortex. no change in hva was seen in the olfactory cortex, basal ganglia, cisternal cerebrospinal fluid or plasma of animals chronically treated with haloperidol. treatment with a single weekly dose of fluphenazine decanoate (5 mg/kg) for 3 weeks resulted in increased hva levels in all the above brain reg ... | 1980 | 6766186 |
| prevalence of antibodies and cell mediated immune response against leishmania major in feral nonhuman primates from kenya. | in kenya, leishmania major is responsible for human cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl). natural infection with l. major of a vervet monkey and experimental susceptibility of some nonhuman primates (nhps) from kenya has been established. however, there has been no comprehensive study of the prevalence of zoonotic cl in kenya. and also, no investigation has been done to assess whether nhps could be potential reservoir hosts of l. major even when the involvement of reservoir animals is obligatory in tran ... | 2009 | 18983806 |
| a comparative study of growth patterns in crested langurs and vervet monkeys. | the physical growth patterns of crested langurs and vervet monkeys are investigated for several unilinear dimensions. long bone lengths, trunk height, foot length, epiphyseal fusion of the long bones and the pelvis, and cranial capacity are compared through six dental growth stages in male trachypithecus cristatus (crested langurs) and cercopithecus aethiops (vervet monkeys). results show that the body elements of crested langurs mature differently than those of vervets. in some dimensions, lang ... | 2011 | 22567303 |
| zoonotic intestinal parasites in papio anubis (baboon) and cercopithecus aethiops (vervet) from four localities in ethiopia. | a total of 59 faecal samples from ranging papio anubis (baboons) and another 41 from cercopithecus aethiops (vervet) from the rift valley areas of ethiopia were microscopically examined to determine the prevalence and species of major gastro-intestinal parasites of zoonotic importance. faecal smears were prepared from fresh faecal samples, stained using modified ziehl-neelsen method and microscopically examined. about 3 gm of the dropping was also preserved separately in clean and properly label ... | 2004 | 15099809 |
| rhodanese from cercopithecus aethiops (vervet monkey) liver. ii. aspects of enzyme kinetics and mechanism of action. | initial velocity kinetic studies were undertaken and certain kinetic parameters ( kmsso2 -3 = 3.1 x 10(-3) m and vmax = 153.85 u/ml/min.) were determined and the mechanism identified as a ping-pong (double displacement) mechanism. competitive inhibition of rhodanese by both substrates, viz. thiosulphate and cyanide, provides additional evidence of ping-pong bi-bi mechanism for this transferase. | 1984 | 6586595 |
| rhodanese from cercopithecus aethiops (vervet monkey) liver. i. purification and some physical characteristics. | rhodanese (thiosulphate sulphurtransferase , ec 2.8.1.1.) from cercopithecus aethiops (vervet monkey) liver has been isolated and purified by means of extraction, ammoniumsulphate and ph fractionation, anion-exchange chromatography, sephacryl s-300 gel chromatography and cation-exchange chromatography. a yield of about 10% pure enzyme with a specific activity of 242 u/mg protein corresponding to a purification factor of 523 was obtained. the enzyme was physically characterized and its homogeneit ... | 1984 | 6586594 |
| survival of animal tissue cells in primary culture in the absence of serum. | the ability of cells from tissues of several species of animals to survive in primary culture without serum was tested. of the species tested, cells from the kidneys of macaca mulatta (rhesus) and cercopithecus aethiops (vervet) monkeys and chicken embryo cells not only survived under these conditions, but indeed developed into confluent monolayer cultures. the addition of either serum or its globulin or albumin fraction enhanced the development of cell monolayers and permitted those cells unabl ... | 1973 | 4631437 |
