Disease relevance of Papio cynocephalus

• Simian T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (STLV-1) infection in wild yellow baboons (Papio hamadryas cynocephalus) from Mikumi National Park, Tanzania [1].

High impact information on Papio cynocephalus

• METHODS: Seventy yellow baboons (Papio cynocephalus) were anesthetized and injected with 5 mg of dexamethasone; the cortisol response was monitored for 6 hours [2].
• Class I MHC expression in the yellow baboon [3].
• Here, we examine fecal steroid hormones from five groups of wild yellow baboons (Papio cynocephalus) in the Amboseli basin of Kenya to compare the hormones of successful pregnancies to those ending in fetal loss or stillbirth [4].
• A rapid method was developed for extracting and assaying oestradiol and progesterone in faeces (n = 242) of female yellow baboons, free-living in Tanzania. Dose response studies generated slopes of 1.02 (r2 = 0.99) for oestradiol and 1.09 (r2 = 0.99) for progesterone, suggesting that this method accurately measured these steroids in faeces [5].
• Effects of ritodrine hydrochloride on arteriovenous blood gas and shunt in healthy pregnant yellow baboons [6].

Associations of Papio cynocephalus with chemical compounds

• Isoelectric focusing (IEF) techniques and spectrophotometric analyses were used to examine the distribution and properties of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) isozymes in ocular tissue of olive and yellow baboons [7].
• We compared four antibodies for detecting the major fecal cortisol metabolites in yellow baboons following (3)H cortisol administration, ACTH challenge, and HPLC separation of fecal glucocorticoid metabolites [8].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Papio cynocephalus

• Isoelectric focusing (IEF) and cellulose acetate electrophoresis were used to examine the multiplicity and distribution of aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs), aldehyde oxidase (AOX) and xanthine oxidase (XOX) from tissues of olive and yellow baboons [9].
