Nonhuman primate models of toxemia of pregnancy
Hypertension in the nonpregnant and pregnant nonhuman primate is not found frequently by research investigators. Its incidence is probably infrequent. No well-defined clinical syndrome analogous to toxemia of human pregnancy has been described. The experimental induction of the disease in pregnant nonhuman primates has been difficult. Although there would be an important role for such an animal model, its discovery does not appear imminent.
