Comparison of cardiorenal functions between women and female rhesus macaques.
Selected cardiorenal functions for conscious and chaired rhesus macaques were compared directly and indirectly with corrections for body weights and surface areas to well-established base-line values for human subjects. Certain functional differences between species and conditions of measurement do not allow all experimental results from the rhesus macaque to be extrapolated to man. However, this comparative study provides evidence that can be useful in attempting to evaluate cardiorenal data from macaques in relationship to human studies.
