Metabolic activity of fresh and cryopreserved cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) hepatocytes
2000
1. The effect of cryopreservation on the metabolic capacity of monkey hepatocytes over 4 h in suspension and 24 h in culture was determined. Hepatocytes were diluted in a buffer containing 10% DMSO and frozen in a computer-controlled chamber. 2. Initial ethoxyresorufin and ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (ECOD) activities were the same in fresh and cryopreserved (CP) hepatocytes. ECOD activity in suspensions declined over 4 h but was the same in fresh and CP hepatocytes. 3. The formation of testosterone hydroxy (OHT) metabolites (namely 6beta-OHT, 2beta-OHT, 16beta-OHT, 16alpha-OHT, 15beta-OHT, 2alpha-OHT and 6beta-OHT) was unaffected by cryopreservation. The loss of OHT activities over 4 h in …
In vivo effects of intravascularly applied Escherichia coli hemolysin: dissociation between induction of granulocytopenia and lethality in monkeys.
1993
The effects of intravascular application of endotoxin-depleted Escherichia coli hemolysin (HlyA) was studied in rabbits and monkeys. In rabbits, bolus application of HlyA calculated to effect final blood levels of approximately 2-3 HU/ml (200-300 ng/ml) caused an acute fall of polymorphonuclear blood leukocytes to less than 20% of starting levels within 5 min. Additionally, platelet counts dropped to approximately 30% of starting levels, whereas lymphocyte counts varied considerably and seldom fell to less than 50%. Nine out ten animals that received 2-4 HU/ml toxin died within 90 min post application. These animals presented with signs of acute respiratory failure and post mortem inspectio…
Immunohistochemical investigation on the pattern of vimentin expression in regenerated and intact monkey and human periodontal ligament.
2003
The expression of vimentin is well documented in the intact animal and human periodontal ligament (PDL), but there is limited information on the pattern of vimentin expression in the regenerated PDL. The aim of the present study was to investigate the pattern of vimentin expression in the regenerated and intact monkey and human PDL. A total of 12 chronic recession-type defects were created in three monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) and treated either with guided tissue regeneration (GTR), or with an enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD). After 5 months, the animals were sacrificed and specimens containing the defects and surrounding tissues were dissected free, decalcified in EDTA and embedded…
Data from: Mechanisms of reciprocity and diversity in social networks: a modelling and comparative approach
2018
Three mechanisms have been proposed to underlie reciprocation of social behaviors in gregarious animals: ‘calculated reciprocity’, ‘emotional bookkeeping’ and ‘symmetry-based reciprocity’. Among these explanations, emotional book-keeping has received the broadest support from experimental and observational studies. On the other hand, three individual-based models have shown that reciprocation may emerge via ‘symmetry-based reciprocity’, ‘emotional bookkeeping’, or a combination of both mechanisms. Here we use these three models to assess their relative fit with empirical data on reciprocation and social network structure across different groups and species of macaques. We collected grooming…
