A Quantitative Trait Locus Influencing Activin-to-Estrogen Ratio in Pedigreed Baboons Maps to a Region Homologous to Human Chromosome 19
Activin is a multifunctional hormone playing a major role in the regulation of reproduction and growth and development. We performed a genomewide scan using multipoint linkage analysis implemented in a general pedigree-based variance component approach to identify genes with measurable effects on variation in the activin-to-estrogen ratio in baboons. A microsatellite polymorphism, D19S714, which maps to human chromosome 19p13.2, showed marginal e…
Conditioned exercise method for use with nonhuman primates
The objective of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of using appetitive methods to train adult male olive baboons ( Papio cynocephalus anubis ), who were socially housed and fitted with indwelling catheter/ transducer systems, to exercise on an inclined, motorized, moving treadmill. All subjects were first trained to walk on a motorized treadmill for 30 min at a speed of approximately 1.6 km/hr on a 0 grade. Upon completion of initial …
Assessing the effects of social environment on blood pressure and heart rates of baboons
The objective of this publication is to report on the feasibility of using a tether system for obtaining data on blood pressure and heart rates of socially housed primates and to evaluate the extent to which housing environment alters cardiovascular responses (mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate). Blood pressure and heart rates of adult male baboons ( Papio cynocephalus hamadryas ) were evaluated over a 6 week period under three different…

Body composition in baboons
The objective of this study was to determine whether noninvasive morphometric measurements of olive baboons ( Papio cynocephalus anubis ) can reliably predict lean body mass and fat mass in this species. Crown‐rump length, triceps circumference, and skinfold measures at the neck, subscapular, suprailiac, and triceps sites were obtained prior to necropsy from 21 clinically normal infant baboons at 18 weeks of age and from 22 clinically normal adol…
