Abstract excerpt
Clinical chemical measures are commonly used biomarkers of health status in nonhuman primates and may also serve as important covariates or outcome variables in experimental protocols. There is a considerable range of normal variation in most clinical chemical traits and the determinants of this variation have been relatively unexplored in nonhuman primates used as animal models in biomedical research.
