Changes in blood chemistry and hematology variables during aging in captive rhesus macaques (<i>Macaca mulatta</i>). <i>J Med Primatol</i> 30:161–173, 2001

Abstract

The Primate Aging Database (PAD) is being developed to assist research using nonhuman primate models for various gerontological applications. We provide now an update of an earlier report providing data on hematological and blood chemistry values for rhesus monkeys across the adult lifespan. These data were collected from several research colonies and have been submitted to rigorous statistical analyses to identify relationships with chronological age.
