REPORT OF THE NIA ADVISORY BOARD ON THE WORKSHOP ON PRIMATE MODELS OF THE
MENOPAUSE:
http://www.nia.nih.gov/research/meetings/primodelreport.htm
The NIA maintains approximately 150 nonhuman primates (M. mulatta) at four
regional primate centers for conducting research on aging. These animals range
in age from 18 to 35 years. These rhesus monkeys are currently only approved for
non-invasive research. The NIA Office of Biological Resources and Resource
Development has put together a compendium of Non-Human primate resource
availability for aging research. Contact the OBRRD (
nadonn@exmur.nia.nih.gov )
for a copy.

They have ... biology and structure with humans, non-human primates are
extremely valuable models ...
http://www.fbresearch.org/pdf/Non-Human%20Primates%20-%20The%20Essential%20Need.pdf
By using the animal model that most closely mirrors human physiology, anatomy,
and behavior, we can explore questions and make progress on biomedical issues
that would be impossible without a model which is similar to humans.
Reproductive Health
Non-human primates such as monkeys are invaluable for studying human primate
development and reproduction because their reproductive physiology is very
similar when compared to humans. Research using monkeys at the CRPRC has led to
developing new methods for contraception, improvement of techniques for gamete
cryopreservation, understanding the causes of infertility and birth defects, and
development of prenatal treatments for debilitating inherited or acquired
disorders. Nutrition-related research has also led to improvements in infant
formulas.:

LIST-SERVES:
Primate Enrichment Forum:
The Primate Enrichment Forum, for those of you who are not familiar with
it, is an email list (currently approx. 400 subscribers) dedicated
toward discussion of environmental enhancement of laboratory primates. Zoo
personnel are also welcome to subscribe.
If you are involved with laboratory or zoo primate care or research, I
encourage you to subscribe to the Primate Enrichment Forum by emailing
