Chimpanzee Urine Biochemic Alterations During 24 Hours of Restraint

摘要

Chimpanzee response to 24 hours of restraint was measured by alteration in urine biochemic values. Values in four consecutive 6-hour urine collections are compared. The values are analyzed for significant deviations in relation to age, sex, urine volume, and duration of restraint. The most pronounced changes with restraint occurred in urine potassium, chloride, epinephrine, total catechol amines, 17-ketosteroids, and in the urine volume. (Author)
