title: Temperature-metabolism relations in the cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus) model for ulcerative colitis.
abstract: Examination of temperature-metabolism relations found no significant differences between thermoregulation of temperature housed laboratory cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus) and wild tamarins in Colombia, S.A. The results indicate that tamarins do not acclimate to a temperature environment and are metabolically stressed at Ta less than 32 degrees C. This is consistent with an hypothesis of chronic metabolic stress as a factor in the etiology of cotton-top tamarin colitis, which is restricted to captive populations and not found in wild tamarins.
