“…In the Goeldi's monkey, the urine was clean-caught in a plastic container as soon as each monkey began to urinate. This simple method of collecting first-void urine in a plastic container is similar to that used for Goeldi's monkey in several studies (Carroll et al, 1990;Pryce et al, 1993;Schradin, 2001;Ziegler et al, 1990). Urine samples were stored at -20°C until analysed.…”

“…In order to monitor ovarian activity and from this to infer reproductive status, we measured urinary oestrone-3-conjugates (E1C). This group of oestrone conjugates provides a reliable indicator of ovarian cyclicity, conception and pregnancy maintenance in the common marmoset (Eastman et al, 1984;Harlow et al, 1984;Hodges et al, 1983) as well as in the Goeldi's monkey (Carroll et al, 1989(Carroll et al, , 1990Pryce et al, 1993;Ziegler et al, 1990). Cortisol was measured to monitor activity of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical axis and in an attempt to quantify stress related to social instability, particularly during the formation of trios.…”

“…Oestrone-3-conjugates were measured directly in urine samples (three samples per week per female) using a non-specific radioimmunoassay (RIA) (Eastman et al, 1984), according to the method described previously for common marmoset (Nievergelt and Pryce, 1996) and Goeldi's monkey (Pryce et al, 1993). Intraassay coefficient of variation assessed by replicate determination of one urine sample was 6.4% (n = 5).…”

“…For Goeldi's monkeys, a urinary titre of 5.0 µg E1C/mg Cr was used to differentiate the follicular phase (<5.0 µg E1C/mg Cr) from the luteal phase and pregnancy (>5.0 µg E1C/mg Cr) (Carroll, 1992;Carroll et al, 1990;Pryce et al, 1993). Again, the antiserum used for E1C determinations in the present study was the same as that used in Pryce et al (1993) and we took the same absolute value as the threshold to differentiate follicular and luteal phases.…”

The ovarian cycle in Goeldi's monkey has an average duration of 23.9 ± 0.4 days, comprising a 10.7 ± 0.3 day follicular phase and a 13.5 ± 0.3 day luteal phase (Pryce et al, 1993).…”

Urinary steroid and gonadotropin excretion across the reproductive cycle in female Wied's black tufted-ear marmosets (Callithrix kuhli)

et al. 1996

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Details of the endocrinology of reproduction in the genus Callithrix are known only for the common marmoset, C. jacchus. This paper presents the patterns of urinary pregnandiol‐3‐glucuronide (PdG), urinary estrone conjugates (E1C), and gonadotropin excretion throughout the reproductive cycle of Wied's black tufted‐ear marmoset (C. kuhli) as determined via steroid conjugate enzyme immunoassays (EIA) and gonadotropin radioimmunoassays (RIA). Postpartum ovulation occurred at 13.6 ± 1.2 days after parturition (n = 12) and was characterized by low PdG and E1C concentrations accompanied by a spike in luteinizing hormone (LH)/chorionic gonadotropin (CG) concentration. After conception, PdG concentrations increased dramatically until they dropped to periovulatory concentrations in the third trimester of pregnancy. Mean PdG concentrations in the first and second trimesters (33.7 ± 8.4 and 39.0 ± 10.9 μg/mg creatinine, respectively) were three times that of third trimester concentrations (11.7 ± 1.4 μg/mg Cr; n = 8). Urinary concentrations of E1C rose more gradually during pregnancy and remained higher prepartum than urinary concentrations of PdG. Urinary gonadotropin concentrations also increased after conception (first trimester concentrations = 24.5 ± 4.5 ng/mg Cr) and continued to increase in the second trimester (51.4 ± 7.6 ng/mg Cr), until they finally decreased in the third trimester (mean = 7.9 ± 1.4 ng/mg Cr; n = 8). The interbirth interval was 156.3 ± 2.9 days (n = 6), with a gestation of 143.1 ± 1.6 days (n = 8). Nonconceptive cycle length was 24.9 ± 0.6 days (n = 4). The results of this study suggest strong similarities in reproductive parameters in the genus Callithrix. © 1996 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Rate of metabolism in the smallest simian primate, the pygmy marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea)

1997

Rate of metabolism was measured with six adult pygmy marmosets (Cebuella pygmaea) at regulated ambient temperatures ranging between 20°C and 35°C. A novel combined nest box and metabolic chamber was designed to allow nighttime measurements on immobile animals in their home cage without disturbance. The basal rate of metabolism (BMR) was 98 ml O2 h−1, representing 74% of the value expected from the equation of McNab [Quarterly Review of Biology 63:25–54, 1988] relative to body mass. The thermoneutral zone was approximately 27–34°C. Below the lower critical temperature (27–28°C), thermal conductance (12.9 ml O2 h−1 °C−1) was close to the predicted value. Body temperature ranged between 34.9°C and 35.5°C at night. When two animals rested together overnight in the nest box, the lower critical temperature was slightly lowered, and individual energy expenditure at 20–21°C was reduced by about 34%. The basal rate of metabolism of C. pygmaea is much lower than reported in an earlier study based on daytime measurements but agrees with values reported from a more recent study conducted at night with a classical metabolic chamber. In order to compare the BMR of C. pygmaea with that of other primates, 23 species were included in a comparative study taking into account both phylogeny and body mass (independent contrasts approach). The scaling exponent of BMR to body mass obtained was indistinguishable from that published for eutherian mammals in general. Cebuella and Callithrix exhibit the lowest basal rates known for simians. This trait may possibly be linked to the natural diet, which includes a large proportion of gums that are difficult to digest, but additional metabolic studies on primates are needed for further examination of its adaptive significance.
