  • Title: Elevation in plasma glucagon levels in response to stress in squirrel monkeys: comparisons of two subspecies (Saimiri sciureus boliviensis and Saimiri sciureus sciureus).
    Author: Myers BA, Mendoza SP, Cornelius CE.
    Journal: J Med Primatol; 1988; 17(4):205-14. PubMed ID: 3193450.
    Abstract:
    Bolivian (Bo) and Brazilian (Br) squirrel monkeys (SMs) were captured and restrained to determine patterns of glucagon and glucose response. In both subspecies, plasma glucagon and glucose levels rose rapidly in response to restraint procedures; glucagon levels in BrSMs and glucose levels in both subspecies returned to basal values in 15 minutes. The magnitude of the glucagon and glucose responses differed significantly between BoSMs and BrSMs.
