Distribution and characterization of uterine pigment in capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella).
Histochemical studies performed on the uteri of non-pregnant Cebus apella revealed the hemosiderin nature of an uterine pigment. This contrasts markedly with the lipofuscin nature of a uterine pigment found in Saimri sciureus.
