DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23368
Abstract: The impact of anthropogenic pressures upon primates is increasingly prevalent, and yet the phenotypic aspects of these impacts remain understudied. Captive environments can pose unique pressures based on factors like physical activity levels and caloric… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23488
Abstract: Chronic emesis (CE) is a poorly understood condition in human and nonhuman primates that negatively impacts the quality of life. Early identification of risk factors for the development of CE is likely to improve the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.applanim.2021.105268
Abstract: Abstract When we treat an animal’s welfare as an individual experience, we should consider the possibility that it may be associated with individual differences in personality. We tested for such associations in 44 socially housed… read more here.

Functional variability of rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) NAT2 gene for drug-metabolising arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Biochemical pharmacology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2021.114545
Abstract: Human NAT2 is a polymorphic pharmacogene encoding for N-acetyltransferase 2, a hepatic enzyme active towards arylamine and arylhydrazine drugs, including the anti-tubercular antibiotic isoniazid. The isoenzyme also modulates susceptibility to chemical carcinogenesis, particularly of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tox.2021.152936
Abstract: Non-human primates (NHPs) have played a vital role in fundamental, pre-clinical, and translational studies because of their high physiological and genetic similarity to humans. Here, we report a method to isolate primary hepatocytes from the… read more here.

Fetal teratogenicity in a rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta): Association with the chronic maternal treatment of amitriptyline
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Medical Primatology"
DOI: 10.1111/jmp.12499
Abstract: Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant commonly prescribed in humans for pain and sleep disorders and in non‐human primates for self‐injurious behaviors. Here, we report a clinical case on the teratogenic effect of maternal‐fetal amitriptyline exposure. read more here.
