Validation of Body Condition Scoring as a Screening Test for Low Body Condition and Obesity in Common Marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus )
Assessing body weight is common practice for monitoring health in common marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus ). Body composition analysis via quantitative magnetic resonance (QMR) is a more in‐depth assessment allowing measurements of lean and fat mass, but it is expensive and remains unavailable to most. Alternatively, body condition scoring (BCS) is an instrument‐free method for visually inspecting and palpating lean and fat tissue. Animals are rate…
A Survey of Vaping Use, Perceptions, and Access in Adolescents from South-Central Texas Schools
Despite efforts to dissuade major manufacturers and retailers from marketing and selling vape products to adolescents, the practice of vaping continues to increase in this population. Few studies have assessed adolescent perceptions of vaping, access to vaping, and use of vaping, and most rely, at least in part, on inferential conclusions drawn from data on smoking traditional combustible cigarettes. A novel electronic survey was created to asses…
Electronic cigarette or vaping use among adolescents in the United States
Vaping among adolescents is increasingly common and may result in poor health outcomes; however, little research has been conducted evaluating the risks of vaping among adolescents and the knowledge and perceptions that drive use. We must gain a better understanding of vaping outcomes and adolescents' perceptions while identifying potential ways to lessen or eradicate the health burdens associated with vaping. This knowledge could then inform rob…
Feasibility of fecal microbiota transplantation via oral gavage to safely alter gut microbiome composition in marmosets
Disruption of microbial communities within human hosts has been associated with infection, obesity, cognitive decline, cancer risk and frailty, suggesting that microbiome‐targeted therapies may be an option for improving healthspan and lifespan. The objectives of this study were to determine the feasibility of delivering fecal microbiota transplants (FMTs) to marmosets via oral gavage and to evaluate if alteration of the gut microbiome post‐FMT c…
Age‐related changes in the marmoset gut microbiome
The gut microbiome is known to play a significant role in human health but its role in aging remains unclear. The objective of this study was to compare the gut microbiome composition between young adult and geriatric non‐human primates (marmosets) as a model of human health and disease. Stool samples were collected from geriatric (8+ years) and young adult males (2–5 years). Stool 16S ribosomal RNA V4 sequences were amplified and sequenced on th…
