Variations in the blood clotting time and lipid patterns of the Nigerian monkey, Cercopithecus aethiops tantalus,
Laboratory Animals
|October 1, 1978
Abstract:
The blood clotting time and serum lipid values of newly-captured Nigerian monkeys were determined during the period of adaptation. Large fluctuations in serum free and total cholesterol and phospholipid values were observed throughout the 12-week period of investigation. The variations in blood clotting time were not significant (p greater than 0.05). These wide variations in lipid values suggest the need for caution in interpreting data from newly-captured subhuman primates.
