Age and sex associated organ weight differences in vervets/African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus).

Background: African green monkeys (AGMs, also known as vervets, Cholorocebus aethiops sabaeus) have been used in a variety of biomedical research studies. The aim of this study was to generate a reference for normal organ weights and percentage organ weights in AGMs of different age categories and sex.

Methods: The organ weights were compiled from 479 AGMs (285 females, 194 males) from 2004 to 2021.

Organ Weights in Relation to Age and Sex in Cynomolgus Monkeys ().

Laboratory animal research is an important contributor to both human and animal medicine. Currently, there is extensive use of cynomolgus monkeys () in pathology and toxicology research. The purpose of this study was to define reference values for absolute and percentage organ weights in of different ages and sex.

Synovial fluid biomarker levels predict articular cartilage damage following complete medial meniscectomy in the canine knee.

The purposes of this study were to document the histological changes present in the tibial plateaus 12 weeks after complete medial meniscectomy in dogs and to determine if synovial lavage fluid biomarker levels are predictive of the severity of joint damage. Twelve adult dogs underwent complete unilateral medial meniscectomy and synovial lavage fluid biomarker levels, including cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), keratan sulfate (5D4). 3B3(-), and 3B3(+), were measured serially at 4-week intervals.
