Abstract

The cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) is one of the most common nonhuman primates used as an animal model in biomedical research related to atherosclerosis. However, little is known about genetic variation in the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene, its effect on cholesterol levels, and associated risks of atherosclerosis. There-fore this study aimed to identify genetic polymorphisms, namely single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), within the promoter region of LDLR and their relationship with animal responsiveness to hypercholesterolemia due to an atherogenic diet. In this research, SNPs were studied using DNA isolated from22 cynomolgus monkeys obtained from aprevious study, consisting of two hyporesponders, 19 hyperresponders, and one extremecase. The result showed that two SNPs existed in the promoter region, namelyg.−169T>C and g.−265G>A. SNP g.−265G>A showed linkages with extreme responsiveness and can be used as a potential genetic marker for extreme animals. The result of this study has extended our knowledge of polymorphism in the LDLR geneand its use intheselection of cynomolgus monkeys as animal models in research on hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis.

Abstract

Tonkean macaques are one of seven endemic macaque species on Sulawesi Island. Feeding management in captivity should pay attention to the quality, palatability, and feeding behavior patterns of animals. The goal of this study was to compare the feeding behavior of two social groups of Tonkean macaques at Schmutzer Primates Center (SPC) and Ragunan Zoo (RZ) with different captive management, which was expected to affect feeding behavior. Ad libitum sampling was used to observe daily behavior and hierarchy, while focal animal sampling was used to observe feeding behavior and feed preference. Data were collected from September 2013 until March 2014 with a total of 495 hours of observations. There were significant differences between the daily behavior of two groups of Tonkean macaques. Resting behavior was dominant in RZ group with non-enrichment feed cage, while feeding behavior was more common in the SPC group with an enrichment feed cage. The SPC group spent most of their feeding time in searching for feed, while choosing, carrying and refusing were greater in the RZ group. Both Tonkean macaque groups showed individual dominance in their feeding behavior. Provisioned feed in both locations had different diversity and preference values. The selection of feed required was based on preference values with attention to Tonkean macaques’ feed in nature. Cage construction, such as the SPC cage, was able to reduce abnormal behavior exhibited by individuals.
