BIOCHEMICAL STUDY OF LARGE PRIMATE RESPONSE TO SEVERE ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSORS.

摘要

Biochemical studies were conducted on immature chimpanzees undergoing 20hours without food and water at temperatures of 70, 80, 90, 95and 100 F at 50% humidity;acceleration-deceleration tests;and the suborbital flight of chimpanzee no. 65 (ham). Twelve urine determinations and seven plasma determinations were obtained with the view of evaluating respiration (acid-base balance),nitrogen metabolism,adrenal-pituitary and sympathico-adrenal systems.
