Validation of urinary cortisol as an indicator of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function in the bearded emperor tamarin (Saguinus imperator subgrisescens)

Article Abstract:

Enzyme-immunoassay (EIA) samples are collected noninvasively and validated for the measurement of cortisol in urine to quantify hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity in the bearded emperor tamarin (Saguinus imperator subgrisescens). The results show that this assay is capable of quantifying levels of cortisol that individual housing alters HPA activity in Saguinus imperator subgrisescens, as demonstrated in other social primates.
