ANNUAL AND DIURNAL CHANGES IN PLASMA ANDROGEN AND CORTISOL IN ADULT MALE SQUIRREL MONKEYS (Saimiri sciureus) STUDIED LONGITUDINALLY
Abstract
Plasma androgen (testosterone + dihydrotestosterone) and cortisol levels of fully mature wild-reared male squirrel monkeys were measured using radioimmunoassay and protein binding methods, respectively. A total of 337 plasma samples were collected over a 24-h period, and at weekly and bi-weekly intervals for a period of 13 months. Plasma levels of androgen (mean ± se = 58.1 ± 4.0 ng/ml) and of cortisol (112.8 ± 4.8 μg/100 ml) are markedly …
